1. Shut down my computer and continue it next day

Luckily I found this little helpful DOS scripts from Internet.

shutdown -f -s -t 3600

This script will shutdown your computer automatically / unattended, after a pre-defined period.
To do this:

1. Click on “start”
2. Click on “run”
3. Type “cmd” without the quotes
4. Type the command and finally, press enter

shutdown -s means, shut down the computer
-f means, force to close all running application
-t follow by a number means, after “the x amount” of seconds, 3600 means an hour, 7200 means 2 hours, and so on
