You could also try a Scheduled Task which can be done from the command line
[see link below] for XP Pro computers and distributed via Group Policy
"startup" script. For instance try schtasks /create /tn autoshutdown /tr
"shutdown -s" /sc onidle /i 60 /ru "system" which would shutdown a computer
that has been idle for 60 minutes . --- Steve
