Hi,

Is there any way to cancel a reboot (before it actually preforms)

after I've clicked shut-down -> restart ?

    If you're quick you can open a command prompt and try typing:

     

    shutdown /a

    Scratch that, it appears you can only use the shutdown /a command during the

    timeout period (i.e. "the computer will be shut down in XX seconds").

    Tom,

     

    Yes there is a way of doing it

     

    On the GotDotNet site I wrote a program to stop it. You will have to compile it

    though

     

    Also, in code you can remove (revoke) the shutdown privilege

    (SE_SHUTDOWN_PRIVILEGE). There is a policy to remove it too, but all it does is

    change a registry key DWORD, which can easily be overridden.

     

    The START | CMD | shutdown.exe -a only stops the RPC errors or if shutdown has

    been invoked using it (shutdown.exe)

    P.S. Spoof your e-mail unless you like SPAM
