send computer to sleep

There are jobs in which a person has to leave their personal computer on to finish a task that may last a few hours. Assuming it's already midnight and practically we we no longer have to do absolutely anything in the application but rather, letting our Windows computer act, we could make use of a few alternatives to order the computer to turn off after a certain time.

The tools that we will mention below will help us to be able to program the exact time in which the personal computer with Windows would have to turn off, something that has to be well calculated because otherwise we could be losing all work if the task (turn off to the computer), it is concluded a long time later. Anyway, with any of the alternatives that we will mention below you could get to command Windows to go into hibernation, so work will not be lost due to the equipment not being completely shut down.

A good alternative is found in this tool called "Vista Shutdown Timer", as it is compatible with most operating systems ranging from Windows 2000 onwards. The interface is completely user-friendly and therefore, there will not be a moment in which we get confused with some of its functions.
