Mr Newbie
I have an annoying teenager who wont go to bed because he is allways on his
computer. I want to write a windows service which will shut down his
computer at night and not allow this to be restarted until the morning.
So I have decided to try and write a windows service to do this. Stage one
is to see if I can get the damn thing to shutdown so I managed to get it
installed but it wont shutdown the PC. I tried the same code in a windows
forms app and it looked as if it was going to then stopped.
Any ideas ?
