Shutdown Timer Classic 1.3.1 | Portable
Shutdown Timer Classic is a small little Windows application that allows you to set a timer that will shutdown, restart, hibernate, sleep or lock your PC.
The countdown window has 4 different background colors to visualize the time left and one animation to draw your attention when the time is about to run out, in case you forget about the shutdown timer.

Features
Shutdown sequence
When a shutdown is executed all windows will be closed, regardless if they resist or not so any unsaved work will be gone! This is done to be sure your PC shuts down and can not be stopped by another process.
If you wish to have a normal shutdown you may enable the graceful mode. This will not force close any apps, but might lead to a failed shutdown as any apps which do not exit upon request can pause the shutdown. Apps might not close because they are unresponsive, require user interactions, or are still working.
Please note that I am not liable for any data loss because you didn't save that extremely important document and now it's gone. That is your fault!
Canceling the shutdown
As long as the timer has not reached zero, you can cancel the countdown at any time by simply pressing the close button (that big X in the top right corner). A dialog will then pop up asking you if you want to cancel. If you choose so, the countdown will be immediately canceled and another message will tell you that the countdown was successfully canceled and that the application will close after clicking OK. At this point, the countdown has already stopped and you have all the time you want before clicking ok, which results in the application closing itself.
If you are running it in the background, then you can go to the notification area (click on the arrow on the right side of your taskbar) and right-click on the application icon. This will bring up a menu with the option «Stop and exit». Clicking this will cancel the shutdown and tell you about the cancellation using a message box.
