How to Shutdown Computer Automatically in Windows 7

Have you ever been in a situation where you forget to turn off your computer and your computer ended up overheated or any other related issues that may harm your computer (like you're running windows update on power supply without the battery and suddenly there's a power failure....?)

As for me, I always forgot to shutdown the computer at night. Mostly because I fell asleep watching movie on bed. And, usually I run my computer on power supply instead of using the battery so there were several times where the power outage occurred and my computer is still running. This is bad for any computers. So, one of the way to prevent that is by scheduling an automatic shutdown to turn off the computer at certain time.

[TRICK] Some Folder Shortcuts (Junction Points)

In Windows 7 or Vista (32-bit), you can create a folder which can give you access to a number of shortcuts in the system. Others may called it 'GodMode', but it is actually not the right term for it as Microsoft developers usually used it to have a quick access to the developed system.

GodMode contents

You can create the the so-called 'GodMode' by the following steps:

Step 1: Create a new folder on your desktop (or any directory you want)

Step 2: Name it as GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

The one in red is actually the name of the output folder. You don't have to actually named it as GodMode, it can be others (I preferred ControlPanel). In the GodMode folder, there is a list of shortcuts which link to tools, utilities and interfaces that are  available in Control Panel – it just puts them all into one big list and categorises them.
