How can I configure my computer stops at a specific time?

I know that I can set up Parental controls for other users, but I would like to be able to set a time limit so that the computer turns off. Is this possible?

Thank you for your helpful suggestions.

You can create a scheduled task that runs at a specific time every day. Its command line would be like this:

stop, s, f, t 300
The command will generate a group of pop up at the specified time, and then shut the computer down to 300 seconds (= 5 minutes) later. For information about how to create a scheduled task, click Start, click Help, then look for help on the scheduled task. When you create the task, make sure that it is running under the account 'System '. Initially, you must specify a time of 15 minutes now so that you can test the task shortly after it is created.
If you find it intimidating to create a scheduled task then here is a simpler method:
1 log in under an administrator account.
2. click on the start planet.
3. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
5. click on "run as Administrator".
6. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
-22:00 / every: m, t, w, e, f, s, su shutdown.exe/s/f/t 300
(to create the task described above. It will take place at 22:00).
