Use the shutdown command in Run. Alternatively, you can use the Scheduled Tasks (I'm running Windows XP), but I'm not a big fan of it.
This is what the code should look like:
shutdown -s -t "x" -c "y"
x = time in seconds. 3600 = 1 hour.
y = message. The -c is optional.
Typing in shutdown -a will cancel the shutdown process.
For instance, if you leave at 10 PM, and want it to shut off at 2 AM:
shutdown -s -t "14400"

Actually, I've messed around with this a bit, and I think it only lets you put a delay up to 10 minutes. What I would do is use Scheduled tasks and have it run the plain shutdown command at a designated time (or after a certain amount of idle).

no, it works, i've done it multiple times (XP). i think there was a problem with vista but i'm not too sure.
if you want an app, here's a little one i made and posted in the MS forums (only tested on XP).
