Windows 7 shut down with custom messsage

[babbelut]

Is it possible to shut down windows 7 with a custom message?

I found this tool:

Beyond Logic Shutdown for NT/2000/XP

But when I run it (through cmd or with a batch file), the application opens for a millisecond and then close without doing anything..

Somebody can help me?

Thanks

Yes it is possible.. as in you want to replace what ? the shutting down message ? or something else what exactly you want to achieve?

 

[babbelut]

The tool in my previous post is perfect... if it works...

I want a messagebox to pop-up with a custom message, and the possibility to cancel the shutdown.

 

[nooruddin76]

Can you send me the tool?

shutdown.exe -m "cool" -l 10

and it worked fine

@Britton30: there is no option to cancel the action in your tutorials...

@nooruddin76: well that's the question, why is it not working here? Why is it closed after a millisecond...

 

[nooruddin76]

Try this out.. make a shortcut of it .. and then right click the shorcut ..properties..run.. select normal window.. ok.. and then run the shortcut instead of the program

 

[babbelut]

same result... the window appears but disappears after a millisecond

 

[nooruddin76]

you on win 7 right?

 

[babbelut]

Yes, Windows 7 Ultimate

 

[nooruddin76]

try to see if you can run it in compatibility mode.. right click..properties..compatibility

 

[babbelut]

I can run it, but it does exactly the same...

 

[nooruddin76]

I'm sorry..beats me

 

[nooruddin76]

oh..one final thing.. try to run it as adminstrator.. right click.. run as adminstrator

 

[babbelut]

nope, the same...
