If you are using XP, just open a command prompt (start | Run | cmd | enter), and type this in, replacing the X with the number of seconds you want it to run for before it shuts down (one hour would be 3600 seconds)
tsshutdn X /powerdown
Yes - the tsshutdn command is built into XP Pro. I haven't tried it on home, but it should be there too. Or if you just want it to happen at a set time eg. 1:00 AM, create a scheduled task to run "tsshutdn 1 /powerdown" at that time.
