Program - Options
Here you can set the options to personalize the application.

 
Shut down Options
Logoff
Logs off the user. (Recommended for logging off the current user and logging on as another.)
Shut down
Shuts down the computer.
Hibernate
Saves all the data to a file and restores it, the next time you start up.
This option will only be visible if you have a Windows 2000 machine or higher.
Lock WS
If you choose to display the shutdown dialog and chose this option, then the dialog will NOT be shown.
This is not a bug, but this is because the computer isn't shutting down but only changing to a secure state.
This option will only be visible if you have a Windows 2000 machine.
Reboot
Reboots your computer.
Power off
If your computer supports Power off, then it will shut down BUT the power supply will be turned off! So the computer will not wait at the "It's now safe to turn off your computer"-screen.
The Power Off feature will only work if your motherboard supports it.
If you are not sure if it supports it, don't use it.
Shell
Shuts down the explorer, and causes only a part of Windows to reboot.
Force
You can combine the Force parameter with any shut down option, to force the applications to close.
It could be that your computer shuts down with "Shut down" but not with "Shut down with force"!
Mostly you have more success shutting down without force, if it doesn't work then this is NOT a bug in AutoExit but in Windows.

Time intervals
Frequency
This is the setting, if you want the computer to shut down on a regular basis, otherwise once.
Choose one of the options to shut down:
Once
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
