We have developed ShutDown software because we had had enough of wasting
our time. Every time we wanted to switch the computer off, we had to
make loads of mouse movements and clicks. Look - you need to move the
mouse cursor to the lower left corner and click 'Start' button. You look
for the 'Turn Off Computer` string and then click it. But that's not
all! After that Windows XP (and other Windows versions) suggests you to
click 'Turn Off'. Only then you're happy and the computer is off.

We will not list other problems - believe, that in order to reboot the
computer, enable screensaver or sleeping mode, you need to make many
actions. ShutDown lets you automate these actions. All you need is ONE
mouse click and everything you want will be done. ShutDown saves not
only your time, but your nerves also. Many ShutDown users complain they
cannot raise their earnings in one click. Unfortunately, we do not know
how to help them.

Some technical information now:

ShutDown does not eat memory of your computer. Every time it releases
memory it doesn't need, so you will not come across the problem, when
your computer doesn't breathe because of lack of memory.
ShutDown does not use registry. It does not slow your computer and
operating system down, saving huge amount of registry keys and other
useless information in the registry. You can easily uninstall ShutDown,
just deleting the folder where ShutDown is installed.
And the last one - ShutDown is freeware , you don't have to pay for it.
Enjoy!

Sounded good. Downloaded it and loaded it. It placed an icon on the
desktop. Clicking on it does *nothing*????? (The 1.1 version.)

Have used one on the older win98 with an address of,
c:\windows\rundll.32 exe user exitwindows,
that seems to be a function of 98 windows. I don't know if it will work on
xp or not, I haven't tried it. (not very adventurous) I had hoped yours
worked the same way.

Windows XP does something similiar (has a shutdown command i do believe).
never tried 'cause i never needed it.
 
I use a shortcut with this address on 98SE
C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE USER,EXITWINDOWS 8

I'm not sure if the comma and the 8 are important
you can use any icon you want.

Found solution!!! It won't work from the desktop icon and I have deleted
that. After a boot, it DOES show in the sys tray and a right click brings
it up and it works from there.

Frankly, the right click and then the click on shutdown is the same as start
and click shutdown so I see little advantage. ;)

Easiest is to use something like The Wonderful Icon to put shutdown,
or reboot on a hotkey.
 
Glenn,

If you're interested, you're welcome to a copy of my 6 KB "Shut Down
Windows" program.
It's extremely simple with minimal frills. If you run it, it shuts down
Windows - any version. It sets
the required "shutdown privilege" for Windows NT/2000/XP. If you run it
with a "/r" switch
on the command line, it reboots instead of shutting down. You can easily
run it from a desktop
shortcut, with or without a shortcut key.

It is *absolutely* virus, adware, malware and any other kind of "nastyware"
free!

I don't have anyplace convenient to post the program, so e-mail me (after
removing the CAPS)
if you'd like a copy.

Regards,
Eric

Tramp's works fine from the sys tray.

*My* windows xp pro doesn't *have* a C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE
User.exe,ExitWindows in the windows directory, however my win98 has for that
system.

The latter has the disadvantage that you need to have something running
all the time, just to save you some clicks.

Windows XP (home and pro) and also Windows 2000 comes with shutdown.exe
in the SYSTEM32 folder.

Open a command window and type shutdown (no parameters) or shutdown -h
This will show help on how to use it.
Or type: shutdown > shutdown.txt to save the the help to file.

The shutdown command starts a 30-second countdown for a shutdown or
restart, which permits you to abort it (with a shutdown -a command).
If you want the command to execute, use the -t flag, which lets you set
the time lapse in seconds. The following examples use a 1-second delay.

For a shortcut to RESTART Windows XP: SHUTDOWN -r -t 01
For a shortcut to SHUT DOWN Windows XP: SHUTDOWN -s -t 01

This has the advantage that you don't need to have something running.
Just put a shortcut on the desktop and/or (the visible part of) your
QuickStart bar.
And of course you can assign a hotkey.

Much the same as with the rundll32.exe method in Win98.

Ah yes, got it!! I used your "SHUTDOWN -s -t 01" in the shortcut and
deleted the one that took memory.

Tramp's works fine but I like this even better. I haven't tried but I
wonder if "00" for seconds would work? I'll try it tomarrow just for the
hell of it. [g]

Sorry to be labor this subject and this is my last but "00" for the seconds
does work. [g]
