Hi Susan,

I wrote about that in a response to your blog, and if it was me that got you to use that handy command, I feel honored that you would use it because of me.

It is a token payback for all of the wonderful advice you've given me.

If it was someone else, I still thank you,

Jeff

Take it a step further???

So today, Susan mentioned a nice little scenerio to reboot her desktop, while away from the office.&nbsp;...

For those of us who can't always remember the syntax or want to record the reason for the reboot in the Event Log try this.

SHUTDOWN -I

Gives you a GUI that lets you select the system, or systems, to work on. All options are available.

Don't forget -f to force the PC to shut down (if there are open applications) and -t xxx where xxx is the number of seconds to wait until shutting down (default is 30 seconds)
