Shutdown Wizard

Shutdown Wizard is not a wizard in the true tool sense of the word. In fact, it is more of a list of choices you'd want to make in order to schedule your computer's shutdown.

Unlike other programs, it does focus solely on the shutdown feature which means that other similar functions deriving from it will not be supported.

I really did not like how the app looked and felt. It was very much centered on a functional style, but it did not fit in well with the rest of my machine's ambiance and I have reservations when it comes to other PCs too. It is reminiscent of times far gone when colors did not matter and all you could work with were square applications without much inspiration.

In terms of choices and functionality, things tend to improve. Aside from not being able to schedule other related tasks, you can select predefined time periods for executing a shutdown action or simply input your preferred time span. The right pane will show the time left until shutdown. You can abort any such action and also initiate it by using the two buttons positioned underneath this pane.

The thing I think one should concentrate on with this application is the usage scenarios. When compared to other similar products, it stands out because it has these predefined time spans that ultimately mean an even easier way to schedule shutdown actions if and only if you agree with the amount of time this app has in store for you.

Shutdown Wizard, as previously stated is not much of a wizard at all. In fact, I'd say it is a scheduler as all the features point towards this. Ultimately, one must agree that in terms of usefulness, this program is indeed helpful and if you're looking for this without much else, then you can definitely work with it flawlessly.
