Windows XP SP2 Shudown program
Windows XP SP2, I am using the shutdown.exe program provided by Microsoft,
to shutdown and restart a PC in the morning, and have set up a shortcut to it so I can just click it when I am ending my remote desktop connection. PC doesn't always let me back in on remote desktop if I don't reboot it. I use the command shutdown -r -f -r is shutdown and restart, -f is force running apps to close now I am getting an error The device is not ready It also doesn't seem to want to run at scheduled time either.

Windows XP SP2 Shudown program
You might want to further look at why you are having a problem with Remote
Desktop as that should not be an ongoing problem. Beyond that take a look at the free PsShutdown from SysIntenrals which seems to work better then shutdown in some cases such as Scheduled Tasks. --- Steve http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsShutdown.html --- PsShutdown "fred" wrote in message ...
