Great little prog that works

This prog takes very few resources; I use it on older PII and PIII PCs running win2k SP4 with 128MB ram. I configured it to run as a service to reboot each night (but it allows for more options, not only reboot). I'm working with old equipment and I'm using this prog in hopes to speed up the user interface a little - as good as win2k is thinking OS should be rebooted every now and then to get rid of possible memory leaks. Thumbs up!

You'd like to go out and leave the computer on for your little ones to play for a certain time nonetheless? Then PowerOff is just the tool you've been looking for. It shuts down the computer at the time you have predefined, without much possibility for an ordinary user account (which should be used for child access to the pc anyway) to do anything against it. Just install a password for the account that prevents re-login - and you're done. Plain, easy to use tool. Very nice!

In my opinion this is a good program with many useful features. I can't comment about reliability because I don't use it simply because I require the ' Activate on cpu usage level feature' which seems to be missing in this program. If this feature were to added , I wouldn't be able to fault the program on features.

There are a few of these freeware shutdown utilities floating around, and this is the one I found to have the most useful features (to me, at least). It's small, easy to use, and takes up little resources. Only thing missing is a way to access the help file (an html document) from the interface.

I have a program I believe similar to Sandboxie. The difference is it protects the whole computer. However the computer needs to be restarted to clean up the mess left behind by the many public users it gets daily. The built in system to do the restart would not work because something on my machine constantly quires the processor and the machine must remain idle for a period of time before the program will restart the computer. This program Power Off was just the ticket. I set the program to run as a service and to not be allowed to be stopped. I set it to reboot each day at 2am. Well now I have a complete setup, Power Off never fails because even if someone is on the machine just reboots no matter what. The program can be set to force close any running programs. I did put up a warning message stating this happens so people are not surprised when everything just shuts down for no reason. If you need a program to shut down or reboot your computer when you are away this is it.

It does what it claims and in a very efficient way. Uses little resources and works just fine. I only wonder why the project has eventually stopped, as this version is a 2003 version. Well, if it works ok, does not need further improvements, I guess.
