Vista - Shutdown Timer is an application that helps schedule tasks such as rebooting the computer or hibernating on the fly, without assaulting the user with unnecessary options that could make the whole thing much more difficult.
The application is in fact one of the easiest methods of doing that, proving extremely useful when you don’t have the time to use a more complex application but you need to schedule a shut down very fast.
Vista - Shutdown Timer supports five different tasks, log off, hibernate, standby, restart and shutdown, so we must admit that some other options would be quite nice, including one to lock the computer.
You have the option to force the operation, which means all programs that could block it will be closed no matter what, but also to fade sound volume to a certain level.
Basically, all the aforementioned tasks come with the same settings, so there are just a few options here and there, which means Vista - Shutdown Timer can be used by beginners quite easy.
Overall, Vista - Shutdown Timer is a decent application if you don’t want to get things too complicated when trying to schedule a system restart. But in case you hope to find a lot more goodies hidden underneath its hood, you will definitely be disappointed.
