I've tried many and this one is simply the best. It's easy and simple, and free.

Sorry, I missed that you want a more specific scheduler, so here's the best for that
(again, as always, freeware):

Use the Windows Task Scheduler and have it run: shutdown.exe, for example:

shutdown.exe -s -t 00

will immediately shutdown the computer.
