Hi,
Im using a IBM think pad and have a problem using the Shutdown.exe file to
shut the system.
When i click on start, shutdown and shut down from there, PC switches off
fine.

But when i try to use the shutdown.exe file to schedule a shutdown, the pc
goes and stops in the " its safe to turn off your computer" message and i
have to manually switch off! .. dose any body know how to make win2k power
off completely using the shutdown.exe file?

TIA.
Venky.

Hi

Shutdown.exe from the RK often has a bad habit of ending up in "It is
now safe to turn of your computer" message when you do a shutdown.

Some other solutions (free) that does not have this problem:

A)
You can use a vbscript to do a shutdown:

B)
PsShutdown.exe in the free PsTools suite

C)
Wizmo.exe
