disable " Force Shutdown" confirm in windows ultimate

[wr332]

hey guys.

i like to know how to force the computer to shutdown when i click " shutdown".

after i got windows 7 every time i try to shutdown the computer it will tell me
" there are programs still running in the background" and you can either choose
" Force shutdown" or " cancel "

i want it to choose " force shutdown" automatic and to be able shut it down without the message popping up and just shutdown.

i have a program that shutdown always @ 4 am it will always stuck on the windows shutdown confirm , and i watch hulu videos in firefox, and at 4 am which i am sleeping , the message will be " firefox is still running " do you want to " force shutdown" or " Cancel" . i'l see that in the morning

Open a CMD Prompt and type: shutdown /f /s /t 0 that should do it, or use the shut down shortcut below.

Type task scheduler in start menu. You can schedule it there.

thanks for reply. i try that but it won't work.

this is what you put in cmd command

C:\>shutdown /f /s /t 0

i scheduled it and it run it but computer won't shutdown.

i even double click. it won't shut down. only if i type shutdown /f /s /t 0 in cmd it will.

maybe you can make a BAT file with "shutdown /f /s /t 0" and use Task Scheduler from Windows to run the BAT file every day.

I thought that it would work. The adjustments suggested by the above poster may be a solution. If not how about this?


Windows 7 schedule auto shutdown Windows 7 Home

 

[wr332]

they won't work.

i need to find a way to use ( shutdown /f /s /t 0 ) command work but just double click or schedule.

for shutdown /f /s /t 0 command to work. i need to open cmd windows and type it in,.

if i try to double click it will give me errors

see the attached images

 

[WindowsStar]

Try: "cmd /c shutdown /f /s /t 0"

 

[wr332]

man... this is hard.. all errors

view attached image

FYI: i put the commands in shutdown.bat and put the commands in and then double click it.

 

[wr332]

ok. i found a working way around this.

in task schedule set time. for the program to run choose c:windows/system32/cmd.exe and then for the " add arguments" put ( cmd /c shutdown /f /s /t 0 )

so it would look like

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe cmd /c shutdown /f /s /t 0

tested working. thanks guys for your fast replies

Ok here is a VBScript that will work if you double click on it.

Don't forget to give some REP points if you feel I helped. Enjoy.

This is ok for a regular Force Shutdown, but I just want to get rid of the screen altogether. I leave Windows Explorer open so it reloads at boot. So I don't need 7 to tell me to close it. I use CloseAll to close everything else. The screen anyway disappears after 30 seconds but it would be good to stop it loading.

force shutdown- desktop shortcut

Create a Desktop Shortcut with the switches /f/s/t 0

for auto-shudown without confirmation, You gotta make a registry edit to accomplish this.



I saw on some other forums this solution:
From: Didier Jonkers

Copy and paste the following into a text editor and save as ShutdownXPFast.reg. Right-click the newly created ShutdownXPFast.reg and select Merge.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"AutoEndTasks"="1″
"HungAppTimeout"="1000″
"WaitToKillAppTimeout"="1000″

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]
"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="1000″

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
"AutoEndTasks"="1″
"HungAppTimeout"="1000″
"WaitToKillAppTimeout"="1000″
type REGEDIT in the command prompt.


Warning "Back-up your registry" before you try this.
Lower the respective values, Say from 5000 to 1000.

Note:
values are in milliseconds I believe. so if the a value of 5000 its 5000ms for the time to kill a process/app.
Some programs are in the 20000+ ms range as they do maintenance on closing.

Makes sure all values are Uniform. If you choose 1000 all Reg-edits must be 1000

AutoEndTasks is the most important one on that list. Those shutdown registry tweaks are really helpful, I've been using them since Windows 2000, they'll probably work on Windows 8 too

Please note: That the settings that Microsoft set in the above registry settings are set for a reason, to make sure your system shuts down correctly, safely and orderly. If you are a new to Windows or the registry you need to be very cautious making any of these changes. There is a good chance of greatly adversely affecting your system. Just because the machine shuts down quickly does not mean it is healthy for the machine to do so. I have seen many users get into deep trouble making their machine shutdown quickly. -WS
