Jon Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 You need local admin rights to shut it down, which tends to mean you need a domain. If you do have local admin rights, a VERY fast (and totally dangerous untidy) way to reboot a PC is to terminate the process winlogon. Its funny as f*ck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportjeeptj99 Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Open up computer management. Right click on computer management local and connect to the machine you want. Once connected. Right click on the same spot. Go to properties -> advanced -> startup and recovery -> settings -> shutdown. You can shut it down there as long as you have admin rights.

+BudMan MVC Posted October 2, 2003 MVC Share Posted October 2, 2003 grab pstools from sysinternals.com - they have a shutdown/restart/logoff commandline tool, that allows shutdown remote machines. And even send user info if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saadu Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Im not on a domain, but running workgroup with 2 winXP machines shairing files. Can i make a shortcut to a command-line-shutdown-instant-kill-thingie for my other PC which dad leaves on and dozes off watching movies... Say i put this hypothetical shortcut in the shared files area, by executing it, would i be killing my own machine or his? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
