Avedesk shutdown

I already searched the forum and found just 1 thread about this but it didn´t help me :-(

I made a desklet and tried typing into the parameters: %windir%System32shutdown.exe -s

but the only thing that happens is that the window where u can see your drives Sorry dunno the english name on German it´s called "Arbeitsplatz" :(

Please help

Which thread did you find?

If it was this one, you have to scroll down a little bit if the top solution didn't work.

Yes I found this one.

I´ve tried now to make it as an normal shortcut an it works.

But in Avedesk not :(

--Edit

I wrote "%windir%System32shutdown.exe" into path

and: "-s -f -t 00" into parameters

try having the normal shortcut, and creating a desklet that points to that shortcut

Didn´t work neither :(

A black dos windw opens for abbout a second and that was it :-/

if all you really want is a desklet to shutdown your comp, you could try the program iShut, it might do the trick :)

#311022

Isn´t there any Desklet out there that could solve my problems?

It's no problem at all for me to make one for you. What style do you want it in (Aqua, Aero, etc)? And is it for Win 2000 or Win XP/2K3 (because it *does* matter).

If you want an Aero one, I can have it ready for you in ten minutes. If you want an Aqua one, that'll take it till tomorrow. And what exactly do you want it to launch from (quick launch, desktop?).

Let me know on this thread, and I'll see about hooking you up. :)

If you have Windows Script Host enabled you can try this:

Open a new and empty .txt file and insert the following lines:

set objshell = wscript.CreateObject("Shell.Application")

objshell.ShutdownWindows

Then save the file as shutdown.vbs and create a Shortcut in AveDesk linking to the location of that file.

Use any nice shutdown icon (search e.g. wincustomize) for your shortcut and after clicking it you should see the Shutdown dialog popping up.

There's nothing wrong with it...let it run (if you're using Norton, you can choose what to do).

Trust me, we're legit ;)

Will finish it up today and have it for you by this evening. :)

#312006

Ok so I'm late. Sue me. :D

It's almost done. Couple of little pointers about the Aqua style (since I've never done one before) that I need to round out before I give it to ya, and I'll be in good shape. Any pointers anyone can give me would be helpful.

#312224

thata shutdown script used to work for me but now it doesn't....anyone know how to get it working again so i can shutdown with the vbs file again (and bring up the options box?)?

How could you make a logoff version of this?

Thanks

#462387

Try using this program: http://www.grc.com/wizmo/wizmo.htm

It looks like it accepts a logoff parameter.

I was looking for a way also to show the logoff dialogue box (Switch User, Log off) but it doesn't seem to support that, is there no way of mkaing a Pidl desklet for avedesk in the same way as the shutdown.exe command?

Thanks for the link anyway nightcrawler!

I'm not sure if either these will show the dialogue box, but give them a try! Obviously if they're what you want, they could be modified as a Pidl desklet for AveDesk.

Hope this helps,
