- ShutDown is shareware. Upload it everywhere!
- If you find this program useful, the author would appreciate
- a contribution of $5.00. The first version of ShutDown was
- freeware. People had all sorts of neat requests, but I really
- did not feel like working for free. Now that it is shareware,
- I hope I will have some incentive to implement enhancements and
- come up with other nifty programs. My address is:

- Description:
- Why click on Start to shutdown your computer in Windows 95?
- In Windows NT, why go to the Program Manager, click on
- File, Shutdown, and then shutdown? ShutDown makes it easier
- by providing the same shutdown service NT's Program Manager
- and 95's Start button does. Make it a shortcut on the
- 95 desktop. In Windows NT, I put it on my Microsoft Office
- Toolbar. You can also run ShutDown from the command line.
- Great for shutting down the computer from a batch file or a
- scheduling program. The standard shutdown procedure is used,
- so don't worry about losing data during the shutdown. NT or
- 95 will ask every running application if they want to quit or
- not.
-
- Command line parameters:
- /RESTART will shutdown and restart the computer.
- /LOGOFF will just log the current user off.
- /HELP will display this same information.
- Specifying nothing on the command line will shut down to a
- power-off state.
-
- Tips/Tricks:
- Running ShutDown without any command line parameters will
- just shut down to a power-off state. If you want a different
- shut down, like a logoff or a complete reboot, you can add
- the command line parameters discussed above. In Windows 95,
- the best thing to do is to create a shortcut on your desktop.
- To change the command line parameters, right click to the
- Properties for the shortcut. Then click the Shortcut tab.
- Now you can add /REBOOT or /LOGOFF to the end of the Target
- line.
