killinghall Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 There's a slight change to the command line in comparison to XP. The arguments used are now prefixed by a forward slash instead of the minus sign (see attached). I've tried the following for a quick launch shortcut:C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe /t 01 but the system refuses to shutdown with the timing specified. Nothing happens in fact.What's the correct syntax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
