There are programs that specifically 'restricts' access at certain times of the day, yes. What do you mean shutdown from 1 AM - 7 AM? Can't you do that manually? If you mean you want it to shutdown at a certain timeslot when you are not AT the computer, I can show you how. <_< . . . .
1) Hit "Windows" + "R" to open up the Run window
2) Type "cmd", hit OK or hit Enter on your keyboard.
3) As soon as it starts up, type "shutdown -i", which will bring up an interface.
4) To the upper top, it asks you to add a computer name, you have to know your computer name to do this, etc.
5) Add it, and then there's 3 options. Pick "Shutdown".
6) It'll ask how many seconds will the warning be up for, for example, 1 hour is 60 minutes, which is 60 x 60 = 3600 seconds = 1 hour. So let's say, you were "AFK" for a couple hours cause you had to run somewhere. Type 3600 in for 'seconds', and in 3600 seconds, the computer will automatically shutdown.
That's all I can think of that involves DOS.
If you're using a program, you'll have to get something like "Child Blocker" that restricts time of access.
