# Auto Shutdown
freeware

Support: autoshutdown@konradp.com (please send any comments, ideas, bug reports).

Usage: This will be very complicated, so read it carefully:)

1. Set the time.
2. Set the action to be taken.
   a. Shutdown means that the computer will be turned off (after logging off, if needed). Force means that the running applications (if any) will be forced to close themselves). This can be dangerous, is some cases you may loose your data, unsaved documents
   b. Remind me about means that, when the time will come, a message box will be shown with your message (e.g. "Eggs are ready!", or "the movie has began!").
3. If you want, minimize the program (the dialog).
4. That's it. When the time will come, the action will be taken.

Of course, if you close the dialog (the program), then the action will not appear. It must be running to work.

Hiding, password etc...

Many parents were asking me to implement the "hide" functionality, they were saying that the program enables them to control the time their children spend on computers, unfortunately the children were smart enough to simply turn off the program.

So, now you can hide it. You do this by clicking the "hide" button. The problem is, how to restore it, if it's necessary ? Well, here is the trick: move the mouse pointer to the top-left corner of the screen, and press "Numlock" (for one second). Then the window will reappear.

You can specify the password if you want. In this case, Auto Shutdown will require this password before it will show up (after pressing "Numlock").

Of course, children being smart enough will manage this anyway.
