Automate shut down tasks on Windows operating systems including 95, 98 (FE+SE), ME, NT4, 2000 and XP with Professional Shutd.-Autom.-Util.
ShutDown NOW! (or SHDN! for short) is a highly efficient and professional Shutdown-Automation-Utility that is compatible with many versions of MS-Windows, including 95, 98 (FE+SE), ME, NT4, 2000, and XP. This software boasts 5 different timer/countdowns, which are perfect for up to 1000 events in total. These timer/countdowns include 'planed' single, weekly, 'daily', 'period', and 'inactivity'.
This software also provides a last chance countdown, password security, and many options to secure SHDN! itself as well as the access to some Windows features, including REGEDIT, Windows built-in shutdown, TaskManager, and more. SHDN! offers all possible shutdown-options and even some bonus options like ejecting and loading devices. It also includes its own Device-Manager with some tricky features like watching if the medium is inserted or not and ejecting only insert ones. It is multithreaded and supports all SCSI or ZIP and IDE devices.
The software offers system-wide visible hotkeys for ejecting devices and empty directories. It has the ability to empty directories, either built-in or to Recycle Bin, secure or only files, and more. It can start applications and even bypass user-logged on messages. The auto-logon feature is useful, and it can alert the user before shutdown. SHDN! even offers a great variety of command-line options, including remote shutdown.
Additionally, SHDN! can initialize HDs before shutdown, and it includes a 'PlayGround' window that can be hidden behind the borders of the screen like a tool-bar. This window contains shortcut-buttons to all shutdown options, the 'Timer-Event List,' and an overview of important settings, among other things. The software further includes a built-in logging-feature for logging all Windows' starts and shutdowns 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 your PC via SHDN!, if it gets too hot. Finally, SHDN! has been on the Shareware market since 1996 and was the work of one man who invested all his time in this one tool. It has been and still is at the top of downloads on many important Shareware sites. Overall, this software is highly recommended for users looking for convenient automation and security features within a shutdown utility.
