And if you are running windows 2000 this will work if you have the resource kit installed, it has the shutdown.exe tool.

You can do this as a service or program using a timer and checking for certain times or whatever then use Process.Start(@"shutdown","-f -s") that forces closed any open applications and shuts down the local system ( at least in windows xp)
