 You probably should parse your environment variables first, since you can never count on windows being installed in c:windows... Many systems use c:winnt instead, and technically it doesn't even have to be on your C drive.

 it is only an example, you can custumize this code how you want..and..  this conde only works with Windows XP

 Kinda funny, should hide it somewhere in a program and if they press it, :-D

 Hmmm...I could make it automatically run when my sister gets on the computer and she'll only have 30 seconds...and in the last five seconds a skull comes up and yells "5...4...3...2...1!!" and then there's an explosion sound and the computer shuts down while the skull laughs maniacally!

 Instead of being:

Code: [Select]

Function DLLShutdown(parm$="-s -t 0",path$="C:")
ExecFile path$+"WINDOWSsystem32shutdown.exe"+parm$
End Functionit should be:

Code: [Select]

Function DLLShutdown(parm$="-s -t 0")
ExecFile SystemProperty("systemdir")+"shutdown.exe"+parm$
End FunctionTested with XP.  Should work on other versions of Windows as well.

 You can terminate the pending shutdown by doing a shutdown /a from the command line during the 30 second countdown.

 For some reason this doesn't work on my computer. I ran it and nothing happened.

 With shutdown.exe you can do an instant shutdown so no chance of aborting it, used to do it on me step-sons computer he was prone to playing it till late so make his computer stay shutting down till 8am in the morning.
