Anyone know of a little program or even a way that I could set my computer to turn off at a certain time?

I don't know if this will work but you can try it. In C:\Windows\System32 the is a program called shutdown.exe. Go to the Control Panel and make a schedualed task to run this program when you need it to shut off. After creating the task go to it properties and add -s to the path. Ex. C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -s. Just an idea. There probably an easier way.
