All that one has to do is : Create a new shortcut (right-click on desktop, select new, shortcut).In the Location text box type: shutdown.exe -s -t 600 -c "Sleep Timer shutdown in 10 minutes"In the above line -s will shutdown the computer, -t starts the timer, 600 is the number of seconds before shutdown one would adjust this to meet their needs for instance 3600 seconds equals one hour, and -c begins custom message displayed in shutdown window (message must be in "").name shortcut anything, maybe something like sleep timer.Adjust timer to suit your needsthis works in XP, Vista and I think 7 I wanted to post because actually there is a way to make windows XP activate a built-in sleep timer using shortcuts and shutdown commands.

This is just what I was looking for. I like to fall asleep to Buddhist talks, but I don't like leaving my PC on all night long. Doing so not only heats up the room, but also wastes energy. With my PC being near my bed, it's much easier to have the track playing in WMP than putting it on iPod/Zune. So if this sleep timer works, it's really the perfect setup! :D Thank you so much!
