This is a video on how to edit data from the Windows Vista Game Explorer. Sometimes the Game Explorer doesn't integrate your games how it should, so you need to come in and take matters into your own hands. Edit any existing game information, add other games that doesn't appear there, anything you want. This programs wasn't tested in Windows 7, but it might work there too.

Task Scheduler comes pre-installed with your copy of Windows and it's used for starting programs at specified times or with specified triggers. You can run tasks daily, weekly, yearly or just one time.

Now I know there are hundreds of little programs that can shutdown your computer, but why install another program and burden your registry and hard-drive, when the solution is already at hand?

As I said, Task Scheduler is for starting tasks, so one might wonder how can it be used for shutting down a computer. Well, you see, there's actually a little program that sits in your Windows folder, called "shutdown.exe". He must be triggered so the computer can shutdown. So practically what we are doing is STARTING the shutdown procedure! :)

Enjoy!
