Superfast Shutdown
James
this time. I went to
http://www.gold-software.com/download3774.html and downloaded Superfast
Shutdown 1.0, where you can just click an icon on the desktop and shut
the computer down very fast. Then I got to thinking "would this harm my
computer", well this group seems to know windows xp
very well so I thought I would ask your advice. My system is Windows
Home xp Sp2,IE6, RAM-
512,
Dial-Up. Thanks in advance.
James
Happy New Year

It is built into XP and does a nice job of shutting down.
Create a desktop Icon with the following:
Right click on the desktop and select New - Shortcut,
Type: C:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t -0
hit Next and exit.

Right click the Icon and click the change Icon button,
scroll through the lists until you see the normal shutdown Icon,
Highlight the one you see and use it for the one you want.

Type: shutdown.exe -s -t xx
where xx is the # of seconds you want to delay shutdown. No (-) sign
before the number after -t. Also, one space after shutdown.exe , after
-s , and after -t .
[And it's not necessary to type the C:\Windows\System32 path before
shutdown.exe.]

couple of seconds and then reverts to it's original status. What am I
doing wrong ?

Well.. For one thing, the "-0" isa just wrong.
Try this (f4rom WAY earlier in this thread.)
shutdown -s -t 1 -c "Superfast Shutdown in T-Minus 1 Second.." -f
The -c is for fun (Comments). The -f is to force running applications to
close without
warning.

I see no ref. to f4. The earliest thread I have is 12/31/05
cheers-Herb.
Squire
that is what made it goof up for you.
It should be: shutdown.exe -s -t 0
Sorry about that.

f4rom is a typo. (from)
