Tried doing this thro Task Scheduler but it wouldn't work. My PC's my TV too and I sometimes fall asleep watching so I can set this up to happen at 2ish in the morning, then when my mains auto switch turns off at the PC will already be shut down.
Thank you. Reply 10 years ago on Introduction. You are one of the best person that know how to make other understand well explain and wish you get some good in life in return Thanks SIR. However, if an application with no visible top-level windows uses the new API to proactively indicate that it needs to block shutdown, Windows Vista will not automatically terminate it, and will instead treat it like an application that does have a visible top-level window.
The two tables below summarize the changes around these timeouts. In a non-critical shutdown i. In a critical shutdown, where the user has clicked the Shut down now button in the new Windows UI and applications will no longer be allowed to block shutdown, the following default timeouts have been implemented:. As a result of the above changes, how should applications handle shutdown in Windows Vista differently relative to Windows XP?
The following are recommended best practices. If you take only one thing away from reading this topic, it should be this one. You will be presenting the best experience to your users if your application does not block shutdown. When users initiate shutdown, in the vast majority of cases, they have a strong desire to see shutdown succeed; they may be in a hurry to leave the office for the weekend, for example.
Applications should respect this desire by not blocking shutdown if at all possible. In many cases, applications that block shutdown can be redesigned so that they no longer need to do so. For example, applications with unsaved data at shutdown can be designed to automatically save their data and restore it when the user next starts the application, instead of blocking shutdown to ask the user what to do.
Microsoft Office will do this in certain scenarios. In other cases, there is usually a sensible default action that applications should automatically perform, instead of blocking shutdown to ask the user what to do. In many cases, this is true even if the default action could be slightly destructive. For example, if an application is in the middle of burning a CD when shutdown occurs, it should cancel the CD burn instead of blocking shutdown to ask the user what to do.
Most users tend not to forget that they have a CD burn in progress, and if they shut down their computers while burning a CD, it would be sensible to assume that they intend to cancel the CD burn. In Windows XP, Microsoft recommended that if an application needed to block shutdown, it should display its own UI explaining why it needed to do so, so users would be less frustrated when shutdown failed. As discussed earlier, Windows Vista will reduce user frustration when shutdown fails even more, by displaying new UI that lists all the reasons applications have provided for blocking shutdown.
This API is straightforward:. Applications need to do this in addition to using the API. Also note that if your application has no visible top-level windows, it must use this API if it needs to successfully block shutdown. Such applications will automatically be terminated if they block shutdown without using the API.
