agsnowdon Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hey all. I have Widows XP and my notebook and often leave the music running or liten to the radio via the web before I sleep and often I wake up to find the notebook still on.

PMK Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 You could do this with a batch file using the AT and SHUTDOWN commands which are available in most versions of Windows, including XP.

Ash You could go to "Control Panel" "Power Options" and set it such that after the selected period of time the system goes into "Standby". Standy is not a total "power off" though, it just puts the system to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
