Try it out on the command line.

shutdown.exe is a program that requires parameters. To invoke it, run if from the command line. If you just type 'shutdown' you will get a list of the programs parameters.

Well you can make a txt file with

code:

shutdown -r -t 60 -c "Shutting down"

save it as a batch file

go to ur desktop,

make a new shortcut

link to the batch file


and then when you double click on it, it should automatically run that for you

shutting your computer down in 60 seconds with "Shutting Down" as a message

if you wanna disable it just make another batch file

code:

Shutdown -a

and run that



im pretty sure thats the way to do it
