Small problem

[Mijjoiji]

Hi!
I´m new to this scripting f***ing s**t.... Just kidding, I want to make a script that reboots my computer if I click yes on a msgbox. So faar the script looks like this:

Option Explicit

Dim MyVar

MyVar = MsgBox ("... is now installed on your computer, the machine has to be rebooted", vbYesNo, "Reboot&quot

If vbYes Then

What now? Can´t figure out what to put there...If someone knows about some good reference sites that would be great too...

Best Regards

/Jim

1) You can use the Rundll32 utility to execute the ExitWindowsEx Win32API function.

2) You can use WMI, but it's only part of Win2K by default.

3) You can use the Windows Shell, but this only begins the shutdown process as if the user goes to Start>Shut Down.

4) You can use ADSI. Search the MSDN for Shutdown and ADS for an example.

jimpain,

You would have to run the command "SHUTDOWN.EXE from the shell passing the correct parameters. I'm not familiar with those but you might check out Microsoft.

FWIW, Shutdown.exe is a utility that's included in the NT/2K resource kits. FYI - it's not one of the free utilities.

If you want a free utility that provides the same functionality, check out

You'd also have to use

If MyVar = vbYes Then
