Thanks, PAUL

According to

XP is the only OS that has this capablity.

I just looked at another site that says SHUTDOWN /L /T:10 /Y /C
Shutdown in 10 seconds, close without saving.
Can be stopped during those 10 seconds using SHUTDOWN /A

The website is

Hope they are useful

I think shutdown.exe is available on the Windows 2000 resource CD.

I think im going to set up a batch file and put it in the windows directory somewere and log into the users computer with admin rights a schedule a schedule task to run at a certain time that shuts down the computer. we want are users to not be logged into the machines until noon. but the users leave there machines on all night and we can't stop them from doing that. so by running this script it will shut there machines down at a certain time. they won't be able to see the task right? or change it

Thanks, PAUL
