Yes there is so many software like this, even free soft is available. Not only schedule shutdown and startup but also you can give many other task or multitask like playing a song and many more.

Shut down and power on schedule

Hi Samuelaguila,

Thanks for your question. I had a question like you to shutdown PC automatically and power on at a scheduled time before. I asked my friend and did more researched on Internet to solve this issue. And I have found a way to do this for Windows XP. You just need to do the following steps.

1. Go to 'Start->Control Panel' and then click on 'Scheduled Tasks' if you’re in Classic View. If you are in 'Category View' then you need to click on 'Performance and Maintenance'. Now click on 'Scheduled Tasks' and you will get a screen where you need to be double click 'Add Scheduled Task' icon.

2. Then click 'Next' on the Schedule Task Wizard screen.

3. Click the 'Browse' button on the next screen that lists the different applications.

4. Browse to C:Windowssystem32 and select the program shutdown.exe.

5. After selecting shutdown.exe, you will find different options and you can select 'Daily' if you want.

6.  Then you simply clicking the 'Next'  button and put your desired time.

7. Finally put password of your PC if necessary and click the 'Finish' button.

I hope this will help you to shut down your PC automatically whenever you want.

Thank you.
