Using Shutdown -i

[gauravinsane]

Some one plz tell that how to use Shutdown -i

 

[mickey megabyte]

according to this microsoft reference...



note that at the top, it doesn't list windows 7 specifically - but i think that's a misprint or error in the reference - there are other examples where a windows 7 command isn't listed as such.
