power off
Hi All,
Just a fun utility I like to share with my friends called "Power Off": http://users.telenet.be/jbosman/applications.html http://users.telenet.be/jbosman/pwroff30.zip Allows you to do all kinds of direct shutdowns and reboots. Plus, you don't have to scratch your head trying to figure out where things are at when you want to shut down, etc.. (Although, I really should learn, so this may be a crutch.) I put an icon to its network icon on my desktop. -T I use this a lot on my Administration Desktop when I am logged into a Windows Server with RDP, where RDP make it fun to reboot. But, you got to be careful to restrict it to the Administrator. |

But, you got to be careful to restrict it to the Administrator. Windows 10 doesn't have the shutdown.exe utility available back in Windows 7? The author says says his PowerOff program supports "Win95/98/NT/W2K/XP" so it doesn't seem the author has verified use on Win7, and later. It looks to provide a feature missing on earlier versions of Windows but doesn't look needed on Windows 7, or later. As for scheduling the shutdown, doesn't Windows 10 have Task Scheduler? It says PowerOff has its own scheduler (which means yet another process to load) but what could it have that Task Scheduler doesn't? |

It's the only way I have of shutting down a Windows 10 machine from remote. David -- David Rance writing from Caversham, Reading, UK |
