I have made this in to a HTA. This is a SFX file so it act like a exe. Here is the HTA code. ChangeVistaBoot.exe

Here is a VBS Script that makes a HTA that countdown then reboots the computer. This script you can add the amount of time for reboot, plus you can change 2 different messages. Here is the Script Save As MkRebootHTA.vbs I have up dated this script MkRebootHta_V1.exe

There are a couple of different ways to do it 1:\ cmdow.exe This needs to be in either \Windows\System32 or the same dir as the batch file. Then at the top of the batch file you need to have this 2:\ VBS method You can use a vbs script to hide the cmd window. This script runs Cmd promt 3 times The First Time it a Dir cmd The Second is it adds your name to the text file The Third is it adds your computer name to the text file It then open the text file, then deletes the text file Save As HideCmdWindow.vbs

The vbs box is refreshen it self every one second The hta makes a vbs file called Rest1,vbs that has a sleep function in it. This runs the count down that get displayed. Here is a redit of the HTA I change the back ground color I added more comments to it.
