How To Remotely Shutdown A computer

Hi guys, i am back today with another skill-upgrading tip for you. Today, i will show you how to shutdown any computer which is on the same network with you. It could be the network at your office, school, etc which is most often the LAN(Local Area Network). I have tried this and it works perfectly both on Windows XP and Windows 7. Just follow the steps below keenly:-

1. Make sure your computer and the target computer which is the computer you want to shutdown are both connected to the network and there is internet access(INTERNET ACCESS IS ENSURED FOR BETTER FUNCTIONALITY OF THIS TRICK).

*** CARRY OUT STEPS 2 TO 5 ON THE TARGET COMPUTER.***

FOR WINDOWS 7...

2. Click the 'Start Button' on the taskbar or hit the 'Windows Logo' key on the keyboard. Then type in 'cmd' in the space provided and wait for some seconds.

3. Right-Click on the 'cmd' icon that appears(usually the first to appear) and choose 'Run as administrator'. click 'Yes' on the next screen that appears(for some computers) to confirm.

FOR WINDOWS XP...
2. Hold down the 'Windows Logo' key plus the 'R' key on the keyboard.

3. Type in 'cmd' in the space provided in the dialog box that appears and click 'OK'.



4. The window that appears looks just like the one below.

5. Type in 'ipconfig' and hit the 'Enter' key. The computer's 'IP Address' will be displayed as shown below.

6. Copy out the IP Address of the target computer and get back to your own computer.

7. Now, carry out steps 2 and 3 on your own computer and type in 'shutdown/i' in the Command Prompt window. A big dialog box appears.

8. Click the 'Add' button at the top of the dialog box and type in the IP Address of the target computer and click 'OK'. '255.255.255.255' as i have typed in below is not my IP Address, it's just a sample...

9. You can now modify the settings in the dialog box to suite your taste, then you type in your comment(the comment is compulsory) and click 'OK'.

10. The message that will appear on the target computer will look like the one below...

...or as a notification from the taskbar like this;

11. Congratulations! You have successfully shutdown someone's computer without his/her knowledge.
