How to set a specific time to shut down the computer

I am running Windows 98 and I would like to specify that
the computer turns off at 10.30PM each night. In this way
I am hoping to control my children's gaming vs homework. I
already have 2 password programs working including a bios
password,I can probably password protect a timed shut down
program (if indeed this is possible) with my other
password software, however once the kids are allowed on I
cannot get them off without a lot of stress. Any simple
solutions out there? I don't seem to be able to find
anything in my control panel.

Hi,

I use PowerOff:

It serves me well on a few different computers, but keep in mind that
anything on a PC can be tampered with by a determined individual.

Thank you MM for this, I will see if this works. I may be
able to hid the application in my password program

Your welcome. I haven't had any problems with the ones that I run on a
few different PCs. I use it almost everyday on my own PC so it shuts
down after I fall asleep listening to radio mystery programs over the
Internet.

Create a task processor task with this as the target
C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx 1
set the task to run at whatever time you want the pc to shut down, I created
a multiple run task with different times for weekends and 'repeat' often
enough that they get tired of switching it back on. Task scheduler already
runs so there is no need to hide anything in startup. If you are doing
anything you dont want to shut down Rclick pause task scheduler
