You probably should parse your environment variables first, since you can never count on windows being installed in c:\windows... Many systems use c:\winnt instead, and technically it doesn't even have to be on your C drive.

pexe

it is only an example, you can custumize this code how you want..

and.. this conde only works with Windows XP

Kinda funny, should hide it somewhere in a program and if they press it, :-D

Hmmm...I could make it automatically run when my sister gets on the computer and she'll only have 30 seconds...and in the last five seconds a skull comes up and yells "5...4...3...2...1!!" and then there's an explosion sound and the computer shuts down while the skull laughs maniacally!

Instead of being:

Function DLLShutdown(parm$="-s -t 0",path$="C:")
ExecFile path$+"\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe"+parm$
End Function

it should be:

Function DLLShutdown(parm$="-s -t 0")
ExecFile SystemProperty("systemdir")+"shutdown.exe"+parm$
End Function

Tested with XP. Should work on other versions of Windows as well.

I don't understand what to press to make it work....

You can terminate the pending shutdown by doing a shutdown /a from the command line during the 30 second countdown.

For some reason this doesn't work on my computer. I ran it and nothing happened.
