Andre: Are you saying that you want to shut windows down at a specific
time/date?
If so, then get the neat little app called SwitchOff (free):

If not, then please make it clearer what you want to do.

well ok... I don't want to install anything because it is nor nessesary...
it's quite simple to make .bat file and run it from task scheduler. I know
because I was doing it many times. problem is that i was doing it a long
time ago and now I don't have this .bat and what is more I don't remember
hove to do it. I mean I don't remember what is inside .bat. if you know what
i should put inside please help me :)

Hi

The shutdown.exe that comes with WinXP has a bad habit of ending up in "It is
now safe to turn of your computer" message when you do a shutdown.

Using VBScript/WMI works very well for this. Put the following code into a file
called e.g. shutdwn.vbs, run it from the task manager with wscript.exe as the
executable and <path-to-vbs-file> as parameter:

' Use "PowerOff" for a poweroff
' Use "PowerOff_Force" for a forced poweroff
' Use "Shutdown" for a shutdown
' Use "Shutdown_Force" for a forced shutdown
' Use "Reboot" for a reboot
' Use "Reboot_Force" for a forced reboot
' Use "LogOff" for a logoff
' Use "LogOff_Force" for a forced logoff

' use "." for local computer

ShutDown ".", "PowerOff"

Sub ShutDown(sNode, sAction)

Const EWX_LOGOFF = 0
Const EWX_SHUTDOWN = 1
Const EWX_REBOOT = 2
Const EWX_FORCE = 4
Const EWX_POWEROFF = 8

Set oWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}!\\" _
& sNode & "\root\cimv2")

Set colOperatingSystems = oWMI.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each obj in colOperatingSystems
Set oOS = obj : Exit For
Next

sAction = LCase(sAction)

Select Case sAction
Case "logoff"
iCmd = EWX_LOGOFF
Case "logoff_force"
iCmd = EWX_LOGOFF + EWX_FORCE
Case "shutdown"
iCmd = EWX_SHUTDOWN
Case "shutdown_force"
iCmd = EWX_SHUTDOWN + EWX_FORCE
Case "reboot"
iCmd = EWX_REBOOT
Case "reboot_force"
iCmd = EWX_REBOOT + EWX_FORCE
Case "poweroff"
iCmd = EWX_POWEROFF
Case "poweroff_force"
iCmd = EWX_POWEROFF + EWX_FORCE
Case Else
' Default value
iCmd = EWX_POWEROFF
End Select

oOS.Win32shutdown iCmd
End Sub

Andre: SwitchOff is very small and better than you can do with a scheduler.
But
if you want the command for a .BAT file see:
