automatic shutdown

I have windows XP sp2 and I have created a batch file (shutdown -s -t 0) and
scheduled it to run at midnight. This is so my kids are forced off the
computer at midnight. Except my daughter has figured out to open word and
then when shutdown goes to close it she gets the "do you want to save
changes" message and she clicks cancel and it stops the shutdown. Is there
another command I can add to my batch file to automaticly click no before she
clicks cancel or any other way to get shutdown to complete no matter what she
does.

If you use the "/p" switch, the PC will shutdown immediately, without
any warning countdown. The "/f" switch will force all running
applications to close without forewarning.

You need to be aware, however, that *NO* technical or software
solution is fool-proof, and _none_ can ever adequately take the place of
live adult supervision. If you cannot trust your children to
safely/properly use the computer without supervision, you may have to
consider limiting their access to it. Also, if you cannot trust your
children to obey your rules, try applying an old-fashioned tool called
disciple.

Sheesh! When will they invent a "spell-checker" that will know what I
mean? The above should have ended with the word "discipline."
