Smart Shutdown is a freeware Windows utility that lets you shut down your computer with one button click. There’s a bunch of configurations you can set up, including timed close down, reboots and hibernation. Nice one for the toolbox.
The program is based on an easy 1-2-3 interface and has an immense number of shutdown options. It allows you to shut down, log off, reboot, lock, turn off, hibernate, disconnect from the Internet or network, enter standby mode in Windows, and shut down and reboot computers in your network–all both manually and automatically. Its built-in Smart Shutdown technology can shut down your computer if you are inactive for a specified period of time. Plus, with its Easy Shutdown technology, you can shut down your computer with just a single click.
