How to Shutdown Your PC Automatically

Some times it is required keep the PC running even after we go to sleep particularly while  downloading some files through torrentz.If you forget to shutdown the PC for long time it will effect the PC and battery(for laptop users) performance.
So  Today  we will learn a simple task scheduler trick.
Task scheduler is basically used to run both periodical and non periodical  tasks by operating system or by the user.We can create any task so that a particular program starts at a particular point of time.
I have created a video on Youtube for Geeky Brains blog Followers.Please watch it in good quality(480p or above) 

For your reference I am giving the instructions below
1.Open task scheduler from control panel (control panel-->system and security-->administrative tools-->task scheduler)
2.Click on "Action" button on top left corner.
3.Click on "create basic  task"
4. Give some name and description.Give the trigger as "one time"
5.Give date and time (when you want to shutdown your PC)
6.Choose start program.
7.Now click on browse for "shutdown.exe"(Local disc(c:)--->Windows--->system32). Choose it and open.Click next
8.Add the argument "/s /f"   (without any quotes)
9.Click next and finish creating the auto shutdown task.
Now you can see your task in "Task scheduler library" by clicking on it.
Note : in the above mentioned instructions at 8th step we are adding the argument /f for force shutdown. It may not be required every time.If some program is continuously running until the time you have mentioned in the task then it will be forcefully closed to proceed the shutdown operation .If you are using windows 7 you can skip it by choice.
The same task can also be done by a simple command in command prompt also. But I have explained this lengthy procedure to introduce the concept of task scheduling to you.With this tutorial you can easily create another task also.
We have created a simple task to shutdown the PC automatically :) 
Next time don't leave your PC turned on for a download. Create your own task to do the automatic stuff :)
