The software offers five different timer/countdowns for up to 1000 events, which include planned single shutdown, weekly shutdowns, daily shutdowns, period shutdowns, and inactivity shutdowns. The software also features a last chance countdown and provides password security with a wide range of options to secure SHDN! itself, as well as access to some Windows features such as TaskManager, Windows built-in shutdown, and REGEDIT.
SHDN! offers all possible, and some bonus shutdown options such as the ability to eject and load devices, a device manager with tricky features, hotkeys for ejecting devices and emptying directories system-wide, and the ability to start applications. The software can bypass user-loged on messages, has an auto-logon feature, can alert the user before shutdown, and offers a variety of command line options, including remote shutdown. Additionally, SHDN! can initialize hard drives before shutdown, has a window called 'PlayGround,' which is hidden behind the borders of the screen, and contains shortcut buttons to all shutdown options, the 'Timer-Event List' and an overview of important settings.
SHDN!also features a built-in logging-feature for logging all Windows' starts and shutdowns either to an own log-file or to the NT4, 2000, or XP EventLog. The software is also supported by Motherboard Monitor, a great freeware tool that watches heat, fan speed, and voltage, and can shut down a PC via SHDN! if it gets too hot. Finally, it's worth mentioning that ShutDown NOW! has been on the Shareware market since 1996 and is the work of one man who has invested all his time in this one tool. The software has been at the top of downloads on many significant shareware sites.
