Windows XP doesn't have a built in 'auto shutdown' feature, but I suppose you could use the Task Scheduler to schedule a regular shutdown, though it's not as straightforward as clicking on a button. Here's how I would do it:
A) Create a shutdown icon on your desktop by:
1)Right-click and create new shortcut
2)Use the following address: %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 0
3)Name the icon Shutdown (you can give it a new icon if you want, but it's not necesary)
B) After creating your shutdown shortcut, go to the Control Panel and select Schedule Tasks
C) Double click Add Scheduled Task
D) Follow the prompts - Browse to your desktop and select the shutdown shortcut
E) Follow the remaining instructions to schedule when and how often to perform this task
That should enable you to schedule a regular shutdown of your system. You could do the same thing to schedule a regular logoff or restart of your computer as well. I'll provide the shortcut address's for logoff and restart as well.
Logoff: %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -l -t 0
Restart: %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -r -t 0
