Sorry for the ignorant question, what do I put in a batch file to shut down windows, right away? (Want to use it with speedfan so if my pump stops it shutsdown).

shutdown.exe -s -t 0
(not sure if the -t 0) is needed. "-r" restarts btw.
You also might want to set it to automatically kill apps and services with a 0 second time out so it ends up shuting down...its in the registry.

So that's all I type in? What do the flags do? And where is this in the registry :confused:

Well i know if you go in command prompt and just type "shutdown.exe -s" it shutsdown. The flags I know are:
-s = Shutdown
-r = Restart
-t = time where # is in seconds (ex -t 60 = 60 second delay)
-c = Allows to display a message if there is a time delay. Example -c "The computer is shuting down" will display whatever is in quotes
-f = Forces applications to shutdown without warning
There are others...those are the main ones. To see them all type "shutdown.exe help" in cmd prompt.

also, if you dont put in the '0' after t, it defaults to 30 seconds.
shutdown -t 0 -f

shutdown -t 0 -f
you need the .exe after shutdown

Try setting this from BIOS - you should find that option there ;)
