Batch file to shutdown computer.

[ßeowulf]

I don't really know what that is, But I would like to do it in VB as I need to jump back on the horse. I have stopped coding for so long and now I've started to forget things (such as how to make a cmdExit button).

What do you mean by a cmdExit button?

[Extasey]

A commandbutton that exits the program.

Code:

Private cmdExit_click ()
End
End Sub

exactly. doing it like that would be simple, just not very visual

you cant do it in batch
you can do it but it will be a cmd window

Code:

@echo off
title Shutdown
@mode con cols=35 lines=5
color 1f
echo Shutdown? (Y/N)
:a
set /p option="> "
if /i %option%==y shutdown -s
if /i %option%==n exit
goto a

If Im not wrong then this could be easily done in Autoit.

Yes it is.
You just have to download Autoit for free and read some tutorials ;) And BAM! Magic is done! haha

Meh, i'm over it now. Thanks for your continued support, but i'm not fiddling with custom shells anymore. The program I made was pretty asthetically pleasing and suited the theme of my computer pretty well, but the shell was too unstable for me to continue using. Windows 7 looks good enough anyway...

You can shutdown in batch but i'm not sure about making a popup, although it can be achieved in python.
