Hi guys, need help with shutting down xp. I have set the scheduled task with a counter but I cannot shut it down. If there is a program open it wont quit it and shutdown. Ive looked on the net and cannot find anything that will help
What program is running? It might be smart to research the application a bit to see if there is a way to get it to peacefully close during the shutdown process
You could use a batch file to shutdown the system
"shutown /s /f"
the /f parameter will force apps to close
This will force all programs to stop running and shutdown the system
or you could run a batch file at the same time you shutdown the system to force the application to shut down before the shutdown procedure
"taskkill /im %App Name% /f"
the /f parameter will force the app to close before the shutdown procedure
