Hack:   Automating Shutdown

As I know it, there are two stages to a shutdown.


One is "shutdown" which shuts down WINDOWS XP, but the computer itself is still on.


Before I had Patch 2 my WINDOWS XP would shut down, and turn off the computer, now it just shuts down, and I have to turn off the computer manually.


I'll try this new batch file and see if it works..

    I used to do a lot with batch files when DOS was the OS, but its been a looong time.

    What do you mean, go to the "shutdown menu" and open a DOS window? Does that mean go to the Start Menu and choose RUN and then do something? How do I get to a DOS window?

    Thanks,
    Maggie
