Hi
I use auto-shutdown quite often, I tend to watch stuff on my comp before i go to sleep, sometimes i need to finish downloading/rendering...etc when i go away.
Always when it initiates shutdown it finds something that just needs those extra two clicks to be shut down. It happens with any application that thinks that currently opened file was not saved after changes were made in it, with firefox and since i installed bunch of gadgets (Auto-shutdown, Q's DriveInfo, Volume control, Network Meter) it always says that sidebar is preventing it from shutdown.
Is there any way to set up windows 7 so that it simply automatically forces shutdown on things that won't turn themselves off? In XP it waited bunch of seconds for applications that had problem shutting down and then it simply got turned off, I don't understand it, do those people at ms have a rule by which they can't just improve things they always have to mess up needlessly something?
please any tip or advice is welcome
