Make a shortcut icon to shut down windows at a specific time


Today I'll share an interesting trick.Using this you can make a timer to shut down computer at a specific time.When the specific time come,windows will shut down automatically.For this,do the follows:


1: Right click on your desktop and choose “New=>shortcuts”.


2: In the box that says “Type the location of the shortcut”,
type in “shutdown -s -t 3600
without the quotation marks and click next.
Note: 3600 are the amount of seconds before your computer shuts down. So , this means 3600 seconds = 60 mints (1 hour). You can change the value in the above code. You can even create multiple shutdown shortcuts. For example a computer shutdown shortcut for 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 5 hours etc.,


3: Make up a name for the shortcut and you’re done.


Optional 
You can change the icon by right clicking=>properities=>change icon=>browse
To abort or cancel the shutdown:
To make an abort key to stop the shutdown timer just create another shortcut and make
the “location of the shortcut” to ” shutdown -a” without the quotes.
