HD - How to turn off from inside Windows?
 

Hello!

I ask this question here, because here the Windows-Knowledge is probably much higher than in any other programm-related discussion board.

My question is:

How can I manually turn off the hard disc(s), just like Windows does after a set time?

Does anyone of you know a tool, API-function, or whatever to do so?
