Command Prompt (executable name cmd.exe) is the Microsoft-supplied command-line interpreter on OS/2, Windows CE and on Windows NT-based operating systems (including Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, Server 2003 and Server 2008).
Sometimes its a big convenience if you can set a timer to shutdown Windows after a specific amount of time. This helps when you are waiting for a download or an installation to finish. Personally I find a shutdown timer very useful when waiting for downloads to complete or listening to music while dozing off.
