How to Create A Shutdown Timer for Windows

METHOD # 1

* Right click on your desktop and choose “New=>shortcuts”.
* In the box that says “Type the location of the shortcut”,
type in “shutdown -s -t 3600″ without the quotation marks and click next.

the “location of the shortcut” to “shutdown -a” without the quotes.
