July 14, 2012Personally I have always used the default GUI to shutdown Windows.
Start > Run (Windowskey + R)
“shutdown.exe -i”
* as computer you can input localhost, the rest is self-explaining

July 14, 2012Use these commands to shutdown, restart pc.
1. Go start >>all program>>Accessories>>Run or (keyboard shortcut) Windows + r.
2. Now write ” shutdown /s /t 60 ” .
(Above command is use for 1 minute (60 seconds) you can change it according to your demand)
A screen-shot is given below that will pop-up after run command

To cancle shutdown command, type “shutdown -a” or “shutdown /a” in ‘Run’ and press Enter key
For Restart, -r (or /r) is used

July 14, 2012Actually , I can’t get the ‘Cancel’ part
July 14, 2012how I cancel the shutdown order ?
To cancel shutdown, go to RUN and type SHUTDOWN /A and press enter. You will be notified about cancellation of scheduled shutdown if you already scheduled the shutdown for windows.

July 14, 2012Which version of Windows are you using?
I asked that because there are a couple of things you can change in the registry to force a faster shutdown and app timeout.

July 14, 2012Like others, I usually use the command line command “shutdown”. Ocassionally, I use Wizmo or NirCMD (both of which have many other functions). Neither of them have a shutdown timer as such, but NirCMD has a “wait” function, which does just that, so you could simply string two commnands (wait x seconds, shutdown).
However, what do you mean by “best”? After all, shutdown is shutdown… Is there any particular function or feature you are after?
the main feature that I’m after is a password protection
July 14, 2012and Thanks in advance
