    have googled this and 'i am better informed but none the wiser"
    can i set a scheduled task that will shut my laptop down when a certain program has finished running? eg. my download manager, or acronis disk image?
    windows 7 seems to sometime ignore the fact that a program is still running and is just sleeping anyway. as it was downloading at the time the sleep actually corrupted the c: partition.
