To shutdown a computer :

For a shortcut to RESTART Windows XP:
SHUTDOWN -r -t 01

For a shortcut to SHUT DOWN Windows XP:
SHUTDOWN -s -t 01

Unfortunately ? especially on Windows XP ? this option only shuts down Windows. It does not shut down your computer, at least on most hardware. For that, on Win XP (and form most Win 2000 users also) I recommend the freeware utility Shutdown.exe (not to be confused with the Windows utility by the same name) by MS-MVP Andrej Budja. I?ve seen several shutdown utilities recommended, but this is the only one that I?ve seen actually shut down Windows XP and then powerdown the computer behind it. For more information on the tool, see here. After you place this utility in the root folder of C:, the commands for a shutdown or restart (respectively), each without a time delay, would be shutdown -u -t 0 for shutdown and shutdown -r -t 0 for restart.

It is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Hope for the best, but expect the worst.

Good things don't always come to those who wait.

If you add cheese to the pot of macroni without taking it off the heat first... it will suck.
