Create a batch file, and put this code in it after the

You can do this with task scheudler and a bat file

Create a bat file by: open notepad, and type the string
shutdown.exe /s /t 00
Save this file to your My Documents directory and name it Shutdown.bat (note the
.bat
extension and not .txt
).
Then, open Task Scheulder (type
task s
from start menu)
Create a new task (not basic)
Computer Shutdown Timer Windows 7
Give it a name
On idle
In Conditions tab, select
start the task only if the computer is idle for 30 minutes
Now, in Actions tab, click New start a program and brose for your .bat file.

As an aside, just be careful in regards that you may lose unsaved work; Also, this may not be desirable if a background update is running or a download etc
