ShutDown NOW! (also known as SHDN!) is a reliable and professional Shutdown-Automation-Utility software designed for MS-Windows operating systems including 95, 98 (FE+SE), ME, NT4, 2000, and XP. This software comes with 5 different timer/countdowns that can accommodate up to 1000 events. These timer/countdowns include planed single, weekly, daily, period, and inactivity shutdowns. SHDN! is equipped with a last chance countdown feature which ensures password security with a robust variety of options to secure the software itself and also restrict access to certain Windows features such as REGEDIT, Windows built-in shutdown, TaskManager, and more.
SHDN! provides a diverse range of shutdown options, including some bonus features. It can eject or load devices and has its Device-Manager with some tricky features that help in monitoring if a medium is inserted or not, and it can eject only the inserted ones. Moreover, it is multithreaded and supports all SCSI or ZIP and IDE devices. SHDN! has system-wide visible hotkeys for ejecting devices and empty directories. The software is capable of emptying directories (built-in, or to Recycle Bin, secure, or only files, etc.), initiating HDs before shutdown, starting applications, bypassing user-logged on message, and has an auto-logon feature. It can also alert the user before shutdown and comes with a great variety of command-line options, including remote shutdown.
SHDN! has a 'PlayGround' window that can be hidden behind the screen's borders like a tool-bar. It contains shortcut-buttons to all shutdown options, the 'Timer-Event List,' and an overview of essential settings. The software comes with a built-in logging-feature that can 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 great freeware tool that monitors heat, fan speed, and voltage and can shut down your PC via SHDN! if it gets too hot. SHDN! 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. It has been at the top of downloads on many important Shareware sites and is a reliable and efficient Shutdown-Automation-Utility software that meets user needs.
