Quick Win2k question...

When I was using win98 I was able to create a shortcut on the desktop that shut-down the computer (can't quite remember but it was something like "rundll.exe user,exitwindows" or something like that), Is there any way to do this in 2k??? My mom doesn't like to shut it down properly other wise.
 
Yes.

I use shutdown.exe. Don't know where it came from, though. Probably a resource kit utility. You might (should) be able to write a little VBS script to do the same thing.
 
Create a text file called shutdown.vbs

Put the following as the contents of the file:

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "^{ESC}uls{ENTER}"

Save the file and place it on the desktop or in the Quicklaunch or whatever. It should shutdown Win2K when you double click it.
