    Comp self shutdown

    Hi,
    I want to be able to fall asleep to music being played on my computer, and for it to shut itself down after about 30 minutes by which time i'm sound asleep. Is this possible on XP, or is there a program I could download that anyone knows of?
    Thanks

    I use a prog called WinOff, which is ideal. You can set it to shut down after a certain time, at a certain time, or when processor usage falls below a set percentage for a set period of time.

    Very handy.
