A FREE, SAFE & SIMPLE PC SLEEP TIMER
Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2012 6:44 am
If you're like me, you enjoy using a bedside laptop to nod off while listening
to an audio book or internet radio, but don't like the idea of keeping your
computer running all night. If so PC Sleep is for you. It is a nifty little freebee
(less than 800kb) that is both flexible and extremely easy to use.
HOW IT WORKS: Once you've downloaded and installed PC
Sleep, a new icon will appear on your desktop. Click it, and In
the small box which opens:
1. Select the function you want (Log Off, Shutdown, Standby,
or Hibernate).
2. Select the timer mode for a designated time, or for hours and
and minutes.
3. Click start. (This is easier than setting the sleep timer on many
TVs and radios.)
If you wish you can hide PC Sleep in your task bar while it's operating. PC Sleep
can be disengaged by clicking STOP. There also is a one minute warning popup
which appears before your PC automatically shuts down.
The free PC Sleep download is here: http://pc-sleep.en.softonic.com/

P.S. Free audio books in all genres, including classic sci fi and classic
mysteries, are available for streaming and downloading here:
