ShutDown with one click or with one key stroke. Run maintenance programs, daily or at certain days of the week, for example scan disk and backup programs. Just one click, then leave your computer and it will power-off automatically after all programs finished.
You can initiate an "auto-logon as a different user" - without waiting for the insert-password-now dialog box to appear. Dual-boot directly into a parallel installation of Windows NT/2000/XP, restarts without user intervention.
It allows you to log off your computer after a specified time of inactivity, or makes sure to restart your computer weekly. It saves you time by automating the shut down process, and even terminates not responding programs.
You save two clicks every day: Usually, you have to click three times:
1. START
2. Turn Off Computer
3. Turn Off
With 12-ShutDown you click once on an icon in the tray. That's it.
Never again forget to run backup and clean up programs at the end of the day. 12-ShutDown starts programs automatically before shut down!
