Use the shutdown command.

Start > Run > cmd /k shutdown /?

You can make a scheduled task to run whenever.

It's very easy. Create a new .BAT file, naming it anything you want (like myshutdown.bat), then put in one line:

shutdown -s -f

Then create a new Scheduled Task in the Control Panel, and tell it to run that batch file at the time you choose.
