Hi, just a quick question (hopefully) i seem to remember seeing something about this before, but is there a way to shutdown a computer remotly. The computer is just on my LAN running win2000, is there a way to do it in ME also?.

There is also an excellent piece of trialware from Famatech, Remote Administrator, that lets you do that and much more. You can operate the other PC in a window just like the one you are sitting at.

Here's what you get when running "shutdown.exe /?" at the command prompt in WinXP:
Code:
And here's what you get in the old school version that comes with the NT/2K resource kits:
Code:

Last but by no means least, take a look at PSTOOLS from Mark Russinovich at Sysinternals:

A good non-freeware program is Remotely Anywhere. I have used many 'remote connection' programs and find this one to be the best. I works through a browser and all you need to do is set it up on the client machine. No software is needed on the host.
