Xylob Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Hi all,I've been searching the net for about a week now, but no results (maybe I'm not using the right search terms?).Is there a way to give the Shut Down command in Win2K the power to close programs?I'm sick of telling my PC to turn off only to come back an hour later to find a stupid message on the screen telling me "Outlook is still open - do you want to close it?" or any other variety of programs.I swear I've seen this option somewhere, but I can't find it in any of the Windows settings or on the internet. I dug all through gpedit and everything in the Control Panel as well as the TweakUI... Am I just missing it?Any help will be greatly appreciated.TIA!

Scarecrow Man Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Perhaps something like this:SHUTDOWN /L /T:0 /Yhttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen...n.mspx?mfr=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylob Posted March 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 That's for XP.... and for remote accessing another PC.I've tried the shut-down command with shortcut on my XP machine with mixed results, but I need this for my Win2K machine.

Scarecrow Man Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 It will work locally and with Windows 2000. Not XP only. The /L switch means local.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317371To shut down the local computer in two minutes and display a "The computer is shutting down" message, use the following line in a batch file or type it at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:shutdown /l /t:120 "The computer is shutting down" /y /c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
