You can use the task scheduler also with the Windows 7 built in shutdown.exe command and schedule the shutdowns also. That way the librarians do not have to worry about it. </span></p>

I hope there are some techs that are familiar with the Poweroff software. I was using it on a Windows XP computer to control several computers in the library. Staff could run a poweron batch file and several computers would boot up. At closing they could run the shutdown batch file to power the computers off. The reference staff loved it.<br>
<br>I replaced the XP computer with a new Windows 7 64Bit computer, and now I can't get the Poweroff software to work.<br><br>Does anyone know what I could try to get this working on the Windows 7 computer? Does anyone have suggestions for something similar that would work in a Windows 7 environment?<br>
