Hi.

when using the following code in any batch file:

CODE

shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..."

you'll get this annying popup: Click to view attachment

Is there any way to hide this window?
If not, is there a third party program which will allow you to restart the PC without any popups?

Thanks.

AutoIt:

CODE

Shutdown(1)

You can compile the script and call it from a batch file.

You might give this one a try: Quick ShutDown
I've been using it for several years and really like it.
