Do a little looking online for a script to initiate shutdown (Hell, IIRC "shutdown" is a valid command from the command line... At least it is in XP...).

Then:

Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks

Schedule a task for it.

Sorry, it sounded like you wanted to time how long it took your computer to shut down.

Get Right will do it for you if you're downloading something big and want it to shut off after it's done. I dunno
