hi there,

my mum has recently baught a new keyboard with hotkeys so i can assign
programs to launch at a touch of a button.

What she wants, liek her old standard packard bell pc keyboard, a button
assigned to shut down the pc.

Is there a program that shuts windows XP down when you tell it?

If so, whats it called and where can i find it?

Hi Stuart,

Try creating a batch file and running it from a button on the keyboard.

Open notepad or similar, paste this in;
SHUTDOWN -s -t 01
Save it as shutdown.bat, (change from txt files to all files before saving
or it'll add .txt to the end).

-s is for shutdown and -t 01 is the number of seconds before shutdown, to
see the other options available enter shutdown /? from the xp command
prompt.

Hope this works, I've never tried it ;o)
