Configuring the Automatic Shutdown Utility

Before you use the Automatic Shutdown Utility, you must configure it. Double-click the
Automatic Shutdown Utility icon in the taskbar tray. The Automatic System Shutdown
dialog box displays. Choose an option and click Apply, then click Start Shutdown. After
you start the system again, the utility will use the settings you selected.
Select from the following options in the Automatic System Shutdown dialog box:
u
Shutdown the Computer: Starts the standard Microsoft Windows shutdown. This
option saves any windows settings that you changed, writes information that is currently
in memory to the system's hard drive, and prepares the system to power down.
u
Power down the Computer: Performs an orderly shutdown of the operating system, and
powers down the computer. This option saves any windows settings that you changed,
writes information that is currently in memory to the system's hard drive, and then turns
off power to the system.
u
Shutdown System and Restart the Computer: Restarts the system. This option saves
any windows settings that you changed, writes information that is currently in memory
to the system's hard drive, and powers down and restarts the system.
u
Close All programs and log on as different user: Closes any open windows or programs,
disconnects the system from the network, and returns the system to the Windows logon
prompt. This option prepares the system for use by someone else.
In addition to the above shutdown options, the Automatic Shutdown Utility provides the
following features:
u
Force All Processes to terminate: Terminates all programs if checked. If this option is
not checked, the system displays an End Task dialog for each process that may still be
running.
u
Time Remaining: Configures the amount of time provided before the selected shutdown
option occurs. When the Shutdown utility is started, this timer begins counting down .
Press Enter or click the Stop Shutdown button to stop the countdown timer.
u
Apply button: Apply your selected changes without closing the Shutdown dialog. Use
the Apply button to configure an option without performing a system shutdown.
u
Cancel: Close the shutdown dialog without saving changes you made. Click Cancel to
do this.
u
Countdown timer: Stop or start the countdown timer. Click the Stop Shutdown/Start
Shutdown button, which toggles between Stop and Start.
NOTE If you select an option while the countdown timer is running, the timer stops automatically.
