Hello everyone and welcome to my guide on how to shut down another computer from your own.

Step 1​

Go to the bottom left corner of the screen and click start.​

Command Promt

(Please note that if you click command prompt you can skip the next step.)

Run​

Once you have opened Run, type in cmd in the text box.​

After you have clicked ok, a black pop up will appear on your screen.​

type in SHUTDOWN -i

Once you have typed that in hit enter.​

This should appear after you click enter.​

From this point on, you can can have fun

For Example.

Very basic guide, but you can just click shut down.

Its basically a roundabout way of shutting down your computer. Nothing special. You should make more meaningful guides . 4/10 for the effort anyway.

Sorry but this was just stupid. I am sure everybody on Sythe.org knows how to shutdown a computer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this guide teaches you to remotely shut down other computers, not your own computer.

I think you need to know the NAME of the computer, but I'm not entirely sure what that would be. Also, I think it would only work on computers that are on the same LAN as you.

Yes, you are correct. I've used this before to safely turn off servers on my network. You need to know the name of the computer, not the I.P..

You can enter someone elses I.P and shutdown, or crash it I am guessing lol?

Can you read?

No, you enter the computer's name, and you select what you want it to do.

You (and only you, noone else) should smash your computer with a large hammer for spamming meaningless posts. Other people should then click OK if the computer is on their network.

Very basic guide, but you can just click shut down.

If you read the hole thread, he says if you don't have the button, and this is to mainly just have your options open.

Mention this only works on networks and show how to obtain the name of a computer as it isn't necessarily obvious.

Right, that's what I'm saying. You could shut down a computer in your office building as long as they shared a network. I'm not sure where the use in that is, I was just clarifying for the above posters that it isn't for your own computer.

Because a person in a office is so immature that they would shutdown another employee's computer?

This Guide is useless. It only describes one of the shutdown functions useable in the command prompt.

I used to use it all the time on people, and just liked to mess with them.

Start -> Run -> Type "cmd" -> Press Enter
Type: SHUTDOWN -s -t 600 -c "Lol. Owned you."

Typing Shutdown makes the computer recognize that you are wanting to shut down a particular computer.

-s
The command used for shutting down your own computer.
-t "00"
This is for the time it will take to shut down. "00" is for how many seconds it will take before shutting down.
-c "Lol."
This is a comment that will be added in a box below the shutdown timer.

There are other types of shutdown commands such as -r, -m, etc. You can find such commands and their descriptions of use by simply typing 'SHUTDOWN' and pressing the enter key while in the command prompt.

Much things need added to the Guide, as I've just shown a little bit above.
1/10, as you've shown one way of using the shutdown function within Windows.
