Use the ExitWindowsEx API. For sample code, download the EndWindowsSession.bas from http://www.w-s-s.de/Developer/ Quote: >And also upon user start their PC, the application will be activated and >show on the systray. Put a shortcut in the Startup folder on the start menu.

On NT you don't need a program to do that, but I'm not sure about W9x. A shortcut with a command similar to this in the start menu should do it: : at 18:00 "shutdown /Y" (without the leading colon, of course) There are lots of possibilities: : at 17:00 /every:friday "net send computername Shutdown in 15 mins!" : at 17:15 /every:friday "shutdown \\computername /t:60 /Y" : at \\computername 17:30 "shutdown /t:90 /Y" Try "at /?" and "shutdown /?" from a command prompt. -- Luc VdV (MCP, MVP)

Luc Van der Veke #4 / 4	shutdown windows nt worstation or windows 95/98 Sorry for following up to myself. I'm not 100% certain anymore (and don't have a win95 machine to check it out), but IIRC w9x machines can be shut down remotely, but cannot shut down others remotely. And BTW, shutdown.exe is in the NT4 resource kit (I forgot). -- Luc VdV (MCP, MVP)
