Hi all
Does anyone know the correct syntax to have xp shutdown (local pc) at the same time on a daily basis?

I'm wanting the pc to turn off (and quit running programs) at 2am every day.

Any thoughts?

You can open a command prompt and run shutdown /? for instructions. Then just create a scheduled task to run this command every day at 2am...
