WINDOWS 7 AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN TIMER WINDOWS

This means that all applications will have enough time to exit and nothing is forced to exit (which also means that applications can interrupt the shutdown).

If you are certain that all applications will exit properly and will not require any human interaction (like a word processor which would open a save dialog when being told to exit), you can choose a graceful shutdown which will just execute a regular shutdown as if you were to manually shutdown Windows yourself. You can combat this by selecting a longer timespan to ensure the running applications has enough headroom to complete its operation or by choosing the Sleep or Hibernate power actions.

Therefore you may experience data loss if any application is in the process of saving or processing data when the shutdown begins. Upon reaching zero, the Shutdown Timer will (actually Windows will do this, Shutdown Timer just gives the command to) force close any still running applications to ensure the shutdown does not get interrupted. If the counter reaches zero the chosen power action will be executed. Just choose a power action from the drop-down menu and then dial in the time span you want.

Shutdown Timer is a very simple application hence it is easy to use. Take a look at my file and folder structure document to read more about how everything ties together. Want to contribute or take a look at my code? Awesome, I welcome all and any contributions and would love to hear your opinion. I am also planning on developing a more advanced and sleek version of this app in the future. Shutdown Timer Classic is a small little Windows application that allows you to set a timer that will shutdown, restart, hibernate, sleep or lock your PC.
