On XP SP2 it always just logs me off, not shut down. What a pity, otherwise it would be exactly what I want.

Unfortunately, most antivirus apps. that you might want to run before shut down, require human input as to what to do with found problems. If you have programs that do their job without human intervention, this is a good one. I use it with a mouse and key recorder program from this site called "Nmacrorec" that records your mouse and keyboard activity and creates an executable from it. These can be assigned to LastChance and work well. A neat program

I was using ShutDownOnTime but noticed this Shut Down Utility. What I like is the ability to run some clean up programs as part of the shut down process. Yes I know some cleaners can be configured to run at start up and shut down but being able to configure others is an asset. It is a bit of a fiddle working out how to configure programs to execute at shut down but this is not a fault of this program and the ability to test what you have done is very helpful. For Freeware there are no complaints whatsoever. Thanks to the author for a smart bit of software.
