Turn your computer off automatically
Computers use electricity, which costs money. It's easy to forget that when using a desktop computer. Laptops have batteries that run down to remind us.Windows has good power management features. However, the computer stays on, which still uses electricity. Sometimes you want it to turn off completely.
Airytec Switch Off is the solution. This lightweight program can power down your computer automatically. There are a number of triggers that can be used.
It can be set to turn off at certain times. Or, it can turn off if the computer goes idle. For example, you have to leave for work while something is downloading. After the download finishes, the computer can turn itself off.
You can also set it to restart, sleep or log off the user. There are ways to access it remotely. It can even automatically run other applications instead of shutting down.
Cost: Free
System: Windows XP, Vista and 7
