Manage PC Shutdown [link, via Genbeta] is a small application for Windows that, as the name already suggests, manages several ways to shutdown the computer. The main purpose of the software is to define the event and action that should be undertaken. Possible events are if a process stops, a countdown, low cpu usage, low battery or at a specified time.
The actions that can be assigned are manifold as well. Users can choose to shutdown, reboot, hibernate, log off, lock / switch the user, turn on the screensaver, turn off the monitor, put the PC in sleep mode or shut down the Internet connection. That’s a lot of options to choose from already but there is more to it if you check the options of the program.
Another program can be executed before the selected action takes place. It seems that only executable files can be selected though.
Other options include emptying the recycle bin or hiding the shutdown and log off buttons in the start menu as well as the task manager. There is also another option to create shortcuts for all the actions, e.g. to shutdown the computer.

What I would really like is something that can easily shut down a playlist after it has ended. I know there are plugins for winamp which do similar things, but I have never had much success with them (usually something crashes on shut down and waits for me to press end task or cancel)
