Windows 98 shutdown without network shutdown nagging.

Recommended Posts

I do have a Windows 98 computer working without the monitor turned on, very often. I would like to be able to shut down the system with a single power button push, but there are network shutdown procedures in the way. Every time there is a network connection active, the shutdown stops asking if I do want to shutdown system, because there is a network connection active (I can not put the exact message here, since I'm using a polish language Windows version).

Is there a way to get rid of these nagging dialogs?

It should be possible to make an AutoIt script closing the dialogs automaticaly, but perhaps there is a simpler way.

That's not what I had in mind. I'm shutting down the server. The connection is maintained by a remote computer.

This particular case is about shutting down Microsoft Networking server. Other computers are connecting to it from time to time. Quite often a connection is still active, when I'm shutting down the server. There are no files open, but the Windows still nags about some connections being active. It is not possible to kill a process responsible for Microsoft Networking services, I believe.

Only partialy true. I'm using TCP/IP along with NetBEUI. Ipconfig will not affect NetBEUI protocol.

Another problem is to run Ipconfig with power button.

If you are positive that that is the ONLY problem, you could use:

Cannot say if you can use the above as part of the "normal" shutdown procedure, i.e. shutdown initiated by the push on the power button.

Or if it can be integrated in this (rather complex, but usually effective) approach:

Or something like:

and switch the server from remote. :unsure:
