Automatically shut down your Windows computer with Professional Shutd.-Autom.-Util, compatible with Windows 95, 98 (FE+SE), ME, NT4, 2000, and XP.
ShutDown NOW! (also called SHDN!) is an advanced Shutdown-Automation-Utility designed for MS-Windows versions 95, 98 (FE+SE), ME, NT4, 2000, and XP. With five different timer/countdown options, it can handle up to 1000 events. The events can either be single or weekly, daily, period or inactivity based. It also has a last chance countdown and provides password security to secure both SHDN! itself and access to some Windows features like Windows built-in shutdown, REGEDIT, and TaskManager.
SHDN! offers a comprehensive set of shutdown-options with bonus features such as the ability to eject+load devices, making use of its own Device-Manager with advanced functions such as the ability to watch if a medium is inserted, multithreaded features, and supporting all SCSI (or ZIP) as well as IDE devices. The software offers visible hotkeys for ejecting devices and empty directories, and it can empty directories to either the Recycle Bin or securely delete files. SHDN! starts applications and bypasses user-loged on message, has an auto-logon feature, alerts users before shutting down and has a range of commandline-options.
The software can also initiate HDs before shutdown, features a hidden 'PlayGround' window with shortcut buttons to all shutdown options and Timer-Event List. SHDN! offers a built-in logging-feature, which logs all Windows' starts and shutdowns either to an independent log-file or the NT4, 2000, or XP EventLog. Besides, it is supported by 'Motherboard Monitor', a tool that watches heat, fan speed, and voltage, and can shut down a PC via SHDN! if it gets too hot.
It is worth mentioning that ShutDown NOW! has been on the Shareware market since 1996, and it is the result of years of hard work committed by one man. SHDN! is still at the top of downloads on many important Shareware sites, which indicates the tool's superiority and popularity among software users.
