This is just running command scripts and closing command prompt, but it does not shutdown.
Is there another way
shutdown.exe is only present on windows xp. this will not work on previous versions of windows
????...
I am looking at a "shellmenuview" of all the commands currently in use on a win-7-64-ultimate PC and have shutdown.exe listed 3 times with arguments for...
Shut Down Computer as shutdown.exe -s -t 00 -f
Restart Computer as shutdown.exe -r -t 00 -f
Log Off as shutdown.exe -L
all residing in the ROOT hive of the registry @ \DesktopBackground\shell\"insert function name here-without the quotation marks"\Command

FYI: Vista keyboard shortcut key combo's..
Win + Right Arrow + Enter Sleep Mode

Win + Right Arrow (x3) + Enter Shut Down

Win + Right Arrow (x3) + U Shut Down

Win + Right Arrow (x3) + R Restart

Win + Right Arrow (x3) + W Switch User.

Have a "be nice" day ;-)

for recovering deleted data first you will need to try multiple softwares . (free)1 glareutilities ,2. mini tool partition wizard(it has a recovery tool) ,3 tune up utilities write one of the name in google search engine and you will get the download link .I have use above softwares. there are many softwares . never pay for a software without trying it first to see if it works or not.

This does NOT work in a domain environment, Common users and Power Users do not have permissions to run Shutdown.exe
They do in my domain environment.
You also can't spell, which makes this nearly impossible to read.
what exactly happens in d background when a computer is shutting down???
i mean d processess....can i see them!!!
can anyone tell me how to recover deleted data..?
yes sure...you can recover the deleted data just contact me on faiztalab@yahoo.com i m 12 hours online i will give you the small size software..which i can send you by your email as well... Faiz
HI FAIZ SIR. CAN U SEND RECOVERY SOFTWARE ON THIS EMAIL ID "faizengg@mail.com"
Assuming you aren't talking about stuff in the recycle bin:

1. Don't write anything else to the disk until you finish recovering the data.
2. Learn the details of your file system (FAT, FAT32, NTFS, ext3, or whatever).
3. Find the first block containing data from your deleted file. copy the data using a hex editor to a new file. This file must be on a different drive (A USB stick, perhaps).
4. Repeat step 3 for each subsequent block, appending it to the end of the new file.

Good luck.
Need anyones help...... I have made a vbScript for a fake virus but at the end of it i want the system to sutdown with a time limit. Any ideas? Thanks
yes there is a shutdown icon that can do that with a time limit. I put the ones with a time limit at school with and internet explorer icon. I pranked so many people. :)
you can do such a shutdown in a more professional and interactive way!
you can do it my way!
Your way is unnecessarily complex for someone who doesn't want to automate the shutdown for a different delay every time (plus which VBscript is about as secure as a chicken-wire air tank).
i see the code for hibernate, but what is the code for Stand By? TGT
It worked on my ME until a kid came along and deleted the icon. Now I can't remember how to put it back on the desktop.
