Step 1
Start Command Prompt by going to Start > Run and by typing in "cmd" in the edit box and pressing "ok" to start Command Prompt in Windows XP. In Windows Vista and Windows 7 you will have to enter "cmd" into the search box that appears when you click Start.
If this does not open the Command Prompt go to step 2. If the Command Prompt opens, simply enter the text:
Code:
Shutdown -i
After pressing enter a new window will pop up. Go to step 3.
Step 2
As Command Prompt is blocked or unaccessible we are going to try to open it using a Batch File.Go to any folder and create a new text file (Notepad is preferred but any other plain text editor will be fine)
Open you text file and copy and paste the following text:
Code:
shutdown -i
As you can see in the picture you now have a file called "Shutdown Start". Double click on it and a windows should pop-up.
Step 3
You should now have a program like interface in front of you. The fields are self-explanatory but I have labeled a picture to show you all of its features.
1 =All computers added to the shutdown. You can shutdown multiple computers at the same time.
2 = Allows you to add a computer network name to the shutdown. If you do not know the target computers network name it is usually labeled in schools and libraries but it is usually found in the drop-down menu at the login window. When logging in, instead of logging in to your normal domain, eg SCHOOLHIGH, look at the other drop-down options and you should see a domain name, eg DELL-MATHS014.
If you still have trouble finding the network name of the target computer download a free program called NetResView which displays information about all network users including HOST names and Ip's.

3 = Used to easily find computer network names by searching for them. Clicking on this will open number 9 which is in the right in the picture.
4 = Allows you to choose between a Shutdown, Restart or Logoff.
5 = If deselected you cannot enter a message or set a time.
6 = Allows you to choose how long your message will show up for. (It is a count-down timer)
7 = Allows you to notify the user what the Shutdown is for.
8 = Allows you to input a message that the target user will see before shutdown.
9 = This is the window that opens when you press Browse.
10 = Allows you to input a computer name to search for computers. Useful at places where there are many computers.
