I would suggest anyone using these shutdown commands regularly to manually shut down all open programs and use these “shortcut” commands sparingly otherwise file fragmentation will be vast. Also recommend everyone using these commands to have on hand backup copies of files,programs,etc…anything important. More good advice would be to Ghost your drive(s) as you’ll probably need it sooner or later.

@Smith: try: shutdown -s -c "message" -t 10
The message did not displayed because your set the timer to ZERO.

I’m wondering how you create a message before the shutdown occurs.
I think it is something along the lines of:
SHUTDOWN -s -c “message” -t 00
But nothing seems to work.
Please help!!

Hello you could set a really useless task to update your antivirus for example. In the advanced section on the scheduled tasks you can set it to wake the computer this works fine with me and i record tv programs its very reliable!!!

Estructure:

Well, not in your OS, but it might be in your BIOS.
Most of the later BIOSes suports this.

(It’s quite simple really, when you figured out how to access your bios Most computers will allow you to access bios during startup by pressing ESC or such.. (when promted to do so) )
I’m pretty sure you’ll find out how, if you have your motherboard manual, or if you ‘google’ some about your BIOS..

Is there something similar but to Turn On the computer so you can set it with the Scheduled Tasks Manager and get the computer Activated?
Thank you

Thanks, I was doing that, but it removes the left column with all the other drives, only displays the folder.

Memphix: simply add the folder path after the Windows Explorer shortcut icon’s path.

Hi, thanks, very helpful.
Something similar I’m trying to do is create a quick launch icon. One that not only opens up explorer but opens explorer with a specific folder selected. For example: It will open c:\memphix\ once clicked
Any help appreciated,
Thanks.

Azhar: The shutdown.exe command is only native in Windows XP. For systems running Windows 2000, the additional Windows 2000 Resource Kit needs to be installed. If you do not have access to the Resource Kit files, I located an alternative someone coded to emulate the same functionality. It is a third-party software not supported by Microsoft and I have not tested it personally, but you may wish to check it out here.

Also, your computer’s ACPI chip must be compatible with Windows XP in order for it to fully turn off.
