Alright I am in the middle of making a batch file that is going to be quite useful for me and my friends and I guess eventually anyone who goes to our website. :wink:
problem is that I simply can't figure this out.
when you go into task manager and kill the process explorer.exe it well... kills the process and you are still on the computer. however when you kill with the cmd command killprocess explorer.exe it opens a shutdown menu. please give me help here, but I want it to use native xp commands and not anything downloaded.

thank you

But what do you want to do? Perhaps you want the "shutdown" command.

All I want to do is to kill explorer.exe
The entire problem is that it opens the shutdown menu. :cry:
