Typing "shutdown" will run either Shutdown.bat, Shutdown.exe, or Shutdown.com. Since you named the batch file shutdown.bat, the command "shutdown" (without an extension) in the batch file makes it run the batch file over and over, as in; hey, run shutdown.bat. If you name the batch file anything else such as "KillPC.bat you will have no problems with Winders getting confused over which file to run. |
