thanks a lot guys for your reply, poltergeist i'll try your codes

[Kenny1943]

Poltergeist,

I've tried your code on my home network. (My daughter is always leaving her PC on.) It works great when executing the code from the PC I want to shutdown. But I can't get it to shut a PC from another PC. I've hard coded the name of the PC I want to shutdown, but no shutdown occurs.

What am I doing wrong?

Ken

 

[hdingman]

Is it a MB and PS that supports software power management, or is it an older machine with a hardwire switch to shut it down?

I gave my kid the old machine with a push-on push-off switch, so I can command it to shut down, but it won't power off remotely.

Howard,

Both machines are ATX. So they both shutdown through software power management. I can't seem to get it to work for me.

Thanks for input.

I tried that Poletgeist's code and got the error message "OpenProcessTokenError: 120"
What problem does it indicate?
