Thanks! I’ve moved (unfortunatelly) to Vista yesterday.
Since I use my PC as a TV (with a TV card, a software filter and my 19″ LCD screen makes TV a better experience on PC) I usually watch some TV berfore sleeping.
On Windows XP the “shutdown -s -t” command didn’t have a time limit (in Vista is 600 seconds). So my PC was on all-night and it’s no good nor for the system neither the ecology.
now I can go to sleep without worries!
thanks again
