Planned or scheduled shutdown in Windows can have many advantages, for example, if you are in a hurry and have to leave home but there is something on the computer that is running and can not be shut down at that moment; it will be nice if we can schedule when the computer will turn off.
It can be done in your Windows 7 PC, and thats too; without using any software.
Steps to schedule the shutdown of your Windows 7 PC:
Click Start, type “cmd” (without the quotation marks) ; right click on the cmd icon that appears in list and select “Run as Administrator”. Accept the security prompt:
---
The command prompt will appear.
In the command prompt type Shutdown and hit Enter from keyboard. You will get the detailed instruction on what command to be used for a scheduled shutdown.
You can schedule anywhere between zero second to ten years!

That’s very useful! Many times I wondered if I could leave my pc on just for some time, and then would turn off automatically, but I didn’t want to install a program just to do that! Now I can do it! Thank you!
