WINDOWS XP- SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY

Do you keep your Windows XP computer on at night running background tasks but need to shut it down at a particular time? This does not require any specialized software, as Windows XP comes built-in with a scheduler tool and shutdown application



Note that you must be logged on as an administrator account. Only administrators can start the shutdown process.

1. Click "Start".

2. Select "Control Panel".

3. Enter "Scheduled Tasks".

4. Select "Add Scheduled Task".

5. The "Scheduled Task Wizard" will appear. Click "Next".

6. Click the "Browse" button

7. When the "Select Program to Schedule" dialog box appears, enter "%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\shutdown.exe" (without the quotes) and press "Open".

8. Name the task "Shutdown" or whatever you'd like.

9. Choose when to perform the task:

* Daily
* Weekly
* Monthly
* One time only
* When my computer starts
* When I Log on

10. The next screen may ask for more information about when to schedule the task, such as the time, start date for the task, what days to schedule the task, etc.

11. When prompted, enter the username and password (if applicable) of the administrator of the machine. Then click "Next".

12. Check "Open advanced properties for this task when I click Finish" then press "Finish".

13. Next to "Run", add a space, a hyphen, and an "s", so the command looks like the following (NOTE that your Windows directory may vary!). Then click "OK" to re-save the task.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\shutdown.exe -s

14. NOTE: If you get the error message "0x8007005: Access is Denied", visit the following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - If this STILL doesn't solve your problem, especially if you are:
Support
* Using XP Home instead of XP Pro
* Running with an administrator account with no password

Access the scheduled task properties page. (Right-click on the task from the Scheduled Tasks Control Panel). Click the "Task" tab and check "Run only if logged on" and press "OK". Now, you must be logged on your system for the task to run, but if you are the only user of the current machine, this should always be the case.

Rename a Series of Files
When you download photos from your digital camera, they often have unrecognizable names. You can rename several similar files at once with the following procedure. This also works for renaming other types of files.
1.Open the My Pictures folder. (Click Start, and then click My Pictures.) Or open another folder containing files that you want to rename.
2.Select the files you want to rename. If the files you want are not adjacent in the file list, press and hold CTRL, and then click each item to select it

3.On the File menu, click Rename.
4.Type the new name, and then press ENTER.

All of the files in the series will be named in sequence using the new name you type. For example, if you type Cold, the first will be named Cold and subsequent files in the series will be named Cold (1), Cold (2), and so on. To specify the starting number for the series, type the starting number in parentheses after the new file name. The files in the series will be numbered in sequence starting with the number you type. For example, if you type Cold (05), the other files will be named Cold (06), Cold (07), and so on.
