To abort: %SystemRoot%\System32\Shutdown.exe -a
To hide the dialogue box, you'll need to use a batch file and run it from
your task scheduler.
@ECHO OFF
%SystemRoot%\System32\Shutdown.exe -s -f -t 00
CLS
EXIT
From a command prompt, type: shutdown /? to see a list of command options
Usage: shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx]
[-c "comment"] [-d
up:xx:yy]
No args Display this message (same as -?)
-i Display GUI interface, must be the first option
-l Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
-s Shutdown the computer
-r Shutdown and restart the computer
-a Abort a system shutdown
-m \\computername Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort
-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds
-c "comment" Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)
-f Forces running applications to close without warning
-d [p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown
u is the user code
p is a planned shutdown code
xx is the major reason code (positive integer less than 256)
yy is the minor reason code (positive integer less than 65536)

Double-click the "New text document.txt". It will open with Notepad.

Right-click "New Text Document.txt" you just created.

Answer "Yes" when it asks you if you want to change the type of file.
