dfg ShutDown XP is a professional shutdown, automation, atomic time synchronizing, disk cleaning and PC protection utility. It gives you an easy and thorough time controlled and automatic way to shutdown, restart or log off your system with optional power off and shutdown forcing. Optionally it will run as a NTservice. An optional Countdown Counter (visual and acoustic) enables you to cancel the system shutdown within a time period of up to 99 seconds. The program also has a built-in alarm clock function. Dfg ShutDown XP will protect the computer while you are absent. You can also launch a program (and wait for exit) before shutdown e.g. to start your daily backup program.
