dman Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 In "Run" box type "taskmgr". From shutdown menu choose "Restart" . Be careful not to choose "Turn Off"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLO Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 In "Run" box type "taskmgr". From shutdown menu choose "Restart" . Be careful not to choose "Turn Off"!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>for some reason, after i do this it wont let me log back in until someone logs in first??you may try this:start - runtype "shutdown -r -t xx" xx=how many xx seconds to execute this commandpress enter<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Thanks! But i think the first reply should do be a bit easier to remember.Click Start -> Windows Security -> Shut Down.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>This would only shutdown, not reboot; which is what i really need.

Scubar Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) maybe instead of using the horrible Remote Desktop Feature of XP you could instead use something like UltraVNC or TightVNC. both are alot more secure and have alot more features to play with. Just a suggestion. Edited October 5, 2005 by ScubaSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrior1109 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) Click Start -> Windows Security -> Shut Down.This would only shutdown, not reboot; which is what i really need.Actually this would produce a drop down menu with various options, including shut down, restart, log off.....

bijicool Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 That's a GPO setting that you can configure...but, there's an completely other way:Right-click My Computer and choose manage. Instead of "Local computer", point it to the remotely controlled PC if possible. Then right click on "Computer Management" and choose Properties.Then select the Advanced tab, Startup and recovery settings button, and there you will find a Shutdown button at your disposal.This is a very hidden but very handy way, you don't even have to use RDP anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xerkon Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 When I'm at work and logged on to my home computer via remote desktop I always right click on the taskbar, choose Task Manager, choose Shut Down, and then choose Restart. However, I think I have to agree that there are other remote programs that are more secure. If you're going to utilize microsoft's remote desktop you'd better have a secure password.

The-VOICE Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I've read that you can easily tunnel RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) over SSH (Secure Shell).I considered tunnelling VNC (Virtual Network Computing) over SSH for use with my Pocket PC Phone (Samsung I700) because the Terminal Services client on Windows Mobile 2003 Phone Edition is so poor. Currently, I'm happily using pcAnywhere Mobile, but I'd still like to try the VNC/SSH combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ursvenky Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 The simplest way is minimize/close all the applications on the remote machine and press Alt F4. That's it, it will give all the options (logoff, restart, shutdown etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
