A professional shutdown automation utility software for Windows operating systems including 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000 and XP.
ShutDown NOW! (referred to as SHDN!) is a professional Shutdown-Automation-Utility that can be used on various MS-Windows operating systems including 95, 98 (FE+SE), ME, NT4, 2000 and XP. It offers five different timer/countdowns for up to 1000 events: planed single, weekly, daily, period and inactivity.
Apart from these, SHDN! also provides a last chance countdown and password security with a wide array of options to secure both itself and access to Windows features such as REGEDIT, Windows built-in shutdown, TaskManager etc. The application offers all possible and some bonus shutdown options such as ejecting and loading devices. It even has its own Device-Manager with some tricky features like watching the insertion of a medium and ejecting only the insert ones.
Furthermore, SHDN! supports all SCSI (or ZIP) and IDE devices and provides system-wide visible hotkeys for ejecting devices and empty directories. It has the ability to empty directories in a secure manner, start applications and bypass user-loged on message. The software also has an auto-logon feature, can alert the user before shutdown and offers a great variety of commandline-options, including remote shutdown.
Another impressive feature is the ability to init HDs before shutdown. Additionally, SHDN! offers a 'PlayGround' window which can be hidden behind the borders of the screen, like a tool-bar. It contains shortcut-buttons to all shutdown options, the 'Timer-Event List' and an overview of important settings, etc. The software also has a built-in logging-feature to log all Windows' starts and shutdowns either to an own log-file, or to the NT4, 2000, or XP EventLog.
SHDN! is also supported by 'Motherboard Monitor', a popular freeware tool, which monitors heat, fan speed and voltage levels, and can shut down your PC via SHDN! if it gets too hot. It may interest you to know that ShutDown NOW! has been on the Shareware market since 1996. It is the work of one man who invested all his time in this one tool, and was and still is, at the top of downloads on many important Shareware sites.
