This could be a very essential tool for DVR purposes. I think the biggest improvement would be to engineer it for multi wakeup events with a single screen to view all that are enabled. I don\'t like having an entry in the systray for each event.I would also like some info on how to get around the User Access Control in Vista. If the pc is rebooted, often it marks each entry & keeps it from running until I specifically enable it.

I think it is a great idea. Unfortunately not simple enough for my needs: a small non resident utility to remote boot a remote PC on demand.Good tool though.

I\'ve had this in use on my desktop and laptop for the past couple of months and it has performed just \'as it says on the label!\'After a bit of a learning curve (do read the manual!!) it is simple to use and probably covers many, many useful schedules of use - but if you want to change your arrangements you have to create a new schedule - re-entering the previous stuff while incorporating the changes. (There is a means of keeping a record of old arrangements - but I haven\'t gone in to that. This is ...

Good job! That was what I needed!

cool application, a bit hard to understand the parameters but after some tests it does exactly what I expected.

Since installing on Vista Home edition I\'ve had two Explorer lock ups - still trying to identify cause but looks like it has upset something...

I\'ve tried many shutdown programs and none of them completely shutdown my computer. This one failed as well.

I am using it for about 8 days. I am extremely happy with it.Thanks.May I know which font and what size you are using in this window

easy download and seems to work great..nice program

Good little program

I have only had the program one day but thus far it works very well. Thanks for the freebee.

Downloaded just fine and I am now using. Seems to work well thus far.Thanks.

Eish,thankyou very much guys.It works !!!

Thank you for autoshutdown, but it did not perform well with Vista. Ultimately I found a small program call shutdown.exe (a windows item) it worked well functioned within batch files, and I was able to use it within task scheduler. Even though your autoshutdown did not work well for me it did put me on the right track. So thank you for your part in helping me solve my problem. Sy OlivenTucson, AZ

bugs after the great beginning Originally I need a program to allow me to hibernate my system by pressing a hotkey combination. DirectShutdown seemed to be the goal, but after starting it came the negative surprise: I cannot uncheck the comfirmation option ("Confirm Hibernate") and I even cannot change the key combination: I select the letter "A" f.e., but it changes back to "H". Of course it would not be a problem, but I definitely do not need any confirmation, after pushing (the default) combination it should hibernate my system immediately...

A competent program Seems to be a useful program but it didn't resolve the problem I have - an inability to shut down properly due to a 0x804E35E9 error

DirectShutDown A very simple and to the point program that does just what you want it to. Free is a huge bonus. Thank you!

Good Software Easy to install and use. If you need a fast easy way to shutdown your system this is it.

Direct Shutdown review I gave this a good review as if it had worked. In my case, it didn't work as it should. I had to end up using System Restore to get rid of it. The two times I tried to use it, I ended up with a blue screen. The second time I couldn't get it restarted and had to restore. I have to assume that it is my configuration causing the problem. I downloaded some shortcuts and the restart worked but coming out of hibernation, the USB mouse wouldn't work.

Good Work Everything Looks And Works Well. The Only Thing That Could Be Easier Would Be A Desktop Widget. Thank You.

A bit user-unfriendly in that it doesn't have a very clear, easy UI but a very good idea.

Awesome. Easy to use and is all that I needed. Shuts down per time per day and has easy to set rules as when not to shut down.

It does the job ShutDownOnTime is 'Good' as it does the basics and is simple to use. It could be better if more sophisticated management of the shutdown, hibernate, standby and reboot were available. There is still some things I am trying out on the application but I think I have reached its limit.

My Experience with AutoShutdown Genius It works well on XP. I am still having issues on Vista. I am working with LonKing support and they have been very responsive. If you need to ensure that systems are shut down, this is it!

It does exactly what it says. I needed that. Thank you!

This is really wonderful tool. I really enjoyed it. Its working on my windows vista very well.

It\'s a very good software...It was help full in my exam days

Sadly it didn't work for me. It wasn't the fault of the program, it was in the OS configuration.

It has all the functions and features I need but I have struggled to get it to work consistently.Thanks

Wakeup – save settings possibility It’s possibly to saving parameters for next time when run wakeup.exe? I need to launch automatically a program at every wakeup from standby, to enable a device.
