How can I make my computer shut down at a specific time every day using a batch file?

You can use Task Scheduler and have it run the Shutdown shortcut from the desktop, rather than use a batch file.

Win9x: rundll32.exe user.exe,exitwindows

WinXP: shutdown -s -f

How do you access the power options in the control panel from a batch file? :)
