How To Easily Restart Windows Xp Without Pushing Restart Button
You
can restart a Windows XP Pro and Home machine easily by creating a
shortcut with following path. (Assume you installed Windows XP on your
C: Partition) "c:windowssystem32shutdown.exe -r -f -t 00"
-r is for restarting the computer. -f is to force close all programs
without saving. -t 00 is used to restart in zero seconds. i.e. as soon
as you D.Click on the shortcut.
You can log off from a Windows XP
Professional or Home edition by running "C:windowssystem32shutdown.exe -l -f -t 00". Also you can shutdown a Windows XP Home or Professional edition by running "c:windowssystem32shutdown.exe -s -f -t 00".
You always have to turn from the CPU after running this command. (Same
with AT and ATX powered machines.)
If you want to turn down power of
ATX machine automatically, run "c:windowssystem32tsshutdn.exe 00 /POWERDOWN /DELAY:00" This is used to turn off a server. Even though your computer will be
shutdown
completely, this whole operation will take 30 seconds to finish. Even
though you don’t have networked computers attached to your computer,
this works.
