Press Release Summary: PC Timer - automatically shutdown, reboot, lock PC and to
keep it locked

Press Release Body: Is getting your employees to shutdown their computers a
challenging task? With the right auto shut down software, it doesn't have to be that
way any longer. With auto shut down software you can be in total control of your
business computers even when you're not around!

Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? But it is true and what's even better is
that help can be on its way to you within minutes. As a small business owner or
manager, you already have more tasks than you can handle in one day. Unfortunately,
when you rely on computers to help run your small business, you have a whole new
realm of responsibilities.

Sure computers have changed the work environment, and mostly for the good. Computers
help make researching customer history a snap. They make it easier to maintain
accurate levels of inventory. Within moments, they can produce reports on
practically any aspect of your business. Computers can do so much to help your small
business grow, but without the right monitoring software and tools, they can cause
problems for you, too.

The many faces of shutdown

Take something as simple as your system shutdown routine. Do you even realize how
many options your employees have to shutdown their computers? They can press the big
ON/OFF button or if using a laptop, simply close the lid. They can put the computer
into hibernate mode, but most don't understand the purpose of this option or even
that it's there.

They can lock down the system. Or they can log off and by doing so will first exit
any programs still running. With so many shutdown options to choose from, amazingly
many still leave their computers on when they leave work!

If these and other system shutdown options confuse you, imagine how confused your
users are. But with the proper tools, you can make the job of shutting down laptops
and computers a lot easier.

Auto shut down software to the rescue

Reliable computer monitoring software is a major step towards ending this confusion.
Once you've got auto shutdown software installed, you can do things like limit an
employee's computer time, log off your employees at the end of their shifts, lock
down employees during their shifts, instruct various computers to hibernate or log
off, issue auto restart commands, and more. You'll even be able to set different yet
precise turn off and turn on times for every user, every day of the week.

Some earlier versions of monitoring software hadn't counted on employees knowing how
to trick these types of software programs into allowing access during
"non-restricted" times simply by changing the computer's system time. Fortunately
most of the newer monitoring software has built-in safeguards that prevent users
from messing with the system time; a feature that you definitely want to look for.

Auto shut down software offers tremendous functionality for very little cost making
it a small business investment worth investigating!
