Hey a FREE way to remotely log off users on Windows 95.
So what do you think? Any comments welcome!

Rocco

• Win31* ECHO G=FFFF:0000 ¦ DEBUG Popup Task Manager, sometimes reboot
• Win9* RUNDLL USER.EXE,ExitWindows Shutdown (3)
• Win9* RUNDLL USER.EXE,ExitWindowsExec Win95: various results, usualy fast shutdown (and lock PC), sometimes restart Windows, sometimes reboot.
• Win98: Restart Windows, sometimes reboot.
• Win9* RUNDLL SHELL.DLL,RestartDialog "System Settings Change, Do you want to restart your computer now?" dialog
• Win98/ME RUNDLL32 SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx n Where n can be any combination (sum) of the following numbers: (4)
  0 Logoff
  1 Shutdown
  2 Reboot
  4 Force
  8 Poweroff (if supported by the hardware)
  

• 3 Thanks for Bill James and Tom Lavedas, for the information on RUNDLL.
  Find more RUNDLL examples I collected on my RUNDLL page.
• 4 See article Q234216 in the Microsoft Knowledge base for more information.
  Thanks for Alec Soroudi for pointing out this information.
  Windows NT also has a RUNONCE.EXE, but I am not sure what its purpose is -- RUNONCE.EXE -q does not shut down NT.
