How I can ShutDown the Windows-98 by a command

I read this command in a Magazine but it didnt works out


rundll32.exe shell32.dll,shexitwindowsEx,n
where n is 0 , 1 , 2
0= logoff
1=shutdown
2=restart

Can any one tell me what is the right way to shut dowm via a Command ?

Hi

You can try this one.

C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindows.

That will close all programs and shutdown...

Are there any other switches to use with this? Say for Reboot?
-Thanks Much

If you are trying to make a program to do this, vbworld.net has API code for shutting down, restarting, restarting in msdos, etc. If it's not for programming though, this won't help much

Yep there sure is.


To Restart Windows95:
type "rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindowsexectype

but that about all the switches I know....!!

yep that will work,

Also a good idea to

START / RUN / MSCONFIG

Select the startup tab, and untick both "Load Power Profiles", then reboot.
