I need a REALLY reliable software that can shutdown xp systems automatically everyday at a certain time. I prefer to use MS utilities but can't find one. I dont want the BIOS to crash the system and do all kinds of damage to the platform. It needs to be as minut as possible and run in the background and not be considered a virus by AV or antispyware programs. (A savvy user may delete it in an attempt to help). Any Ideas?!?!?

I found this on the internet using the Scheduled Tasks. Note I have not tried this to see if it works. Link to the info is as follows:

Let me know if it works for you.

Nice, but I tried it and it only works if the user who created the task is logged in and they need to shutdown long after everyone has gone and HOPEFULLY logged out
