At present Groovix linux installation closing time settings do not affect windows installations.

You can set up windows scheduled tasks to warn users when the library is closing.

You can edit C:\ProgramData\Groovix\Scripts\closing-time-warnings.vbs for your specific situation.

For example, if you want:
* an initial warning at 15 minutes before closing time
* a second warning at 10 minutes before closing time
* your user's to be kicked off the computers at 5 minutes before closing time
* your library closes at 8PM

Set:
* time1 = 5 ( time1 is the time in minutes between the initial warning and the second warning )
* time2 = 5 ( time2 is the time in minutes between the final warning and shutdown )
* change the message1 and message2 variables as desired
* schedule closing-time-warnings.vbs to run at 7:45PM

You can set the task scheduler to repeat weekly and choose multiple days of the week, so for a typical M-R, F, S schedule you need to set up 3 scheduled tasks.

Here is one guide to using the windows scheduler:
