Well im wondering if you can setup something to turn off the pc(or standby) after X amount of time but do it safely?. I remember setting up a button before but i think it wasnt good for programs that were downloading (e.g. linux on utorrent).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

It works well. I have it turn my PC off at 1:30 in the morning so that I can access shared drives when I'm using the laptop in bed but I don't want to get up, come downstairs and shut it down myself.

Found a similar program just after posting, thanks for the help though.
if you're a minimalist like me and you don't like programs cluttering your pc, shutdown.exe works just fine from the command prompt. Have a look how to use it here.
