shutdown.exe
XP Pro SP3 updated to the minute, IBM T42.
I found this statement on MS. Note Shutdown.exe for Windows 2000 is no longer supported and is not available for download from Microsoft. This tool is available on the original Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit CD-ROM only. So why do I have shutdown.exe on my computer? Thanks -- JimL The purpose of complicated software is to provide excitement for geeks with not enough to do; busy people can go suck eggs. Winstun Churchhill |

Why are you looking at information for Windows 2000? |

I would assume that Win 7 also has shutdown.exe. |

In XP you can set the time switch to anything you want, but in Server 2003 and Vista it can't be over 5 minutes. In Windows 7, you can set it to anything you want again. |

Here's what I got when I ran a search on "shutdown.exe." Microsoft Support says: ----------------------- This article describes how to use the Remote Shutdown tool (Shutdown.exe) to shut down and restart a local or remote Windows 2000-based or Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based computer. Shutdown.exe is available on the Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit CD-ROM only. ----------------------- That is a clipped quote. Note the word "only." That says it is for the described use in 2000 and NT 4 and available only on the 2000 CD. Since I don't have the 2000 CD I wondered why I have shutdown.exe. The hueristic and trace modules of my anti-virus wondered the same thing and suggested I submit it for analysis. -- JimL The purpose of complicated software is to provide excitement for geeks with not enough to do; busy people can go suck eggs.

Whenever you do a Google search, you need to enter as many relevant terms as possible. Otherwise, you will get a ton of hits and most will not pertain to what you are interested in. Remember, you are not running NT 4 or 2000, so the article you are referencing is irrelevant as far you are concerned! Slip in Windows XP and restrict your hits to Microsoft's site, and your hits might be more relevant: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...&aq=f&oq=&aqi= That says it is for the described use in 2000 and NT 4 and available only on the 2000 CD.

If you're AV program is flagging shutdown.exe as suspicious, it is either a false positive or you might actually have an infected file which happens to also be called shutdown.exe. FWIW, this is the location of the legit system file: C:\WINDOWS\system32 Finally, this page may be of interest: http://www.threatexpert.com/files/shutdown.exe.html |
