Shutdown Your Computer or a Remote PC via Command Prompt and Stop Shutdown Process

Most of us shutdown our computers using the power button given in the Start menu. Some of us use the physical power button on our machines. Very few people actually use other means of shutting down a computer and even less is the number of people who use the command prompt to shutdown a computer.

A reason for this is that most of us don't know that the command prompt can be used to not only shutdown, restart or log off our computer instantly but also to shutdown a remote computer provided you have administrative access. It can also be used to hibernate a computer and give a comment containing the reason for shutdown. This post will show you how to do all this.

A computer running Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 8.1) with the command prompt working perfectly, i.e. not disabled by a virus.

Initial Steps 

1) Press Windows Key + R.2) Enter CMD and press Enter.This will start the command prompt. Follow the instructions below depending on what you want to do.

Shutdown Local Machine (Your Computer)

Type "shutdown -s" without the quotes in the command prompt and press Enter. Shutdown is the command being executed and the switch -s tells the computer to shutdown.

Restart your Local Computer 

Type "shutdown -r" in the command prompt and press Enter. In this case, the command switch -r is telling the computer to restart after shutdown.

Log Off the Current User

Type "shutdown -l" in the command prompt and press Enter. The -l command switch tells the computer to log off.

Shutdown a Remote Computer

Type "shutdown -s -m \\name of the computer" in the command prompt and press Enter. Replace \\name of the computer with the actual name of the remote computer you are trying to shutdown. As mentioned earlier, you must have administrative access to the computer you are trying to shutdown. To know if you have administrative access, press Windows key + R and then type the name of the computer and press Enter.

Note: If you don't remember the name of the remote computer, you can look for it by opening a list of all the computers you are connected to by executing "net view" in command prompt.

If you can connect to the computer, you will be asked to login with your username and password. Upon entering them, a window will display the list of all the directories available to you. This should help you know whether you can or cannot shutdown the remote computer.

Hibernate a Local Computer

Type in "Rundll32.exe Powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState" without the quotes and press Enter. Your computer should hibernate, if it does not, then you must enable hibernation to do this.

Shutdown your or a remote computer after a specific time

Type "shutdown -s -t 60" to shutdown your computer after 60 seconds. Upon executing this, a countdown timer displaying a warning message will be shown. This command uses the -t command switch followed by a variable (which is 60 in this case) which represents the number of seconds after which the computer will shutdown.

Display a Message containing the reason for shutdown

Type shutdown -s  -t 500 -c "I am tired. I don't want to work anymore." (with the quotes) in the Command Prompt and press Enter. The -c switch is used in the code to give the reason for shutting down and what is followed in quotes will be displayed in the dialog box as the reason. This can be used to display all sorts of funny messages.

One example :- Skynet has become self aware. John Connor did not stop me. You can not use your PC anymore.

Stop a System Shutdown

Type "shutdown -a" and press Enter. This will stop the system from shutting down if the countdown to shut down has not reached 0.

Make Undeletable, Unrenamable Folders

Make Undeletable, Unrenamable Folders using cmd :

Have you ever wondered how you can make a folder which neither can be deleted nor be renamed. Well, if you have, then you have come to the right place. With this trick, you will be able to create folders in Windows which cannot be renamed or deleted.

Basic Concept
The basic concept behind this trick is the use of Keywords. Keywords are reserved words in any programming language that cannot be used as names of variables. Windows also uses certain keywords in its programming. Some of them are con, aux, lpt1, lpt2, lpt3, lpt4, lpt5, lpt6, lpt7, lpt8 and lpt9.

A Test
To test this concept, make a new folder in Windows and try to give it a name same as any keyword mentioned above.

Result
Windows will not rename your folder to any of the keyword given above.

Trick
So the question arises, how can we make a folder with a keyword as its name? The solution to this problem is included in Windows itself. As we know that Windows has evolved from D.O.S.(Disk Operating System), its commands can be used in Windows. You can use D.O.S. Programming in Windows to create a folder with a keyword as its name using the steps given below:-

1. Click on Start.
2. Click on Run. Type in "cmd" without quotes.
3. In the Command Prompt Window that opens, type the name of the drive you wish to create your folder in the format <drive-name>: and press Enter. e.g. If you wish to create the undeletable folder in D drive, type "D:" without the quotes. Note that the folder cannot be created in the root of C: drive (if C: is your system drive).
4. Type this command- "md con\" or "md lpt1\" without the quotes and press Enter. You can choose any of the keywords given above as the name of your folder.

Now Windows will create an undeletable, unrenamable folder in the drive you entered in Step 3. However, the folder can be renamed to another keyword using Windows Explorer.

Deleting the Folder

Although, it is not possible to manually delete the folder, you can delete the folder by typing "rd con\" or "rd lpt1\" in Step 4 instead of "md con\" or "md lpt1\". 

Windows Compatibility: This works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

Try it yourself to create one such folder which can neither be deleted nor be renamed.

Create Bootable USB Drive of Windows Setup without Using Any Software.

How to Create Bootable USB Drive of Windows Setup without Using Any Software?

               As you know, a bootable USB drive comes handy in many situations such as re-installing Windows Operating System or recovering from critical errors (like refreshing your PC, etc). There are several free tools available such as PowerISO, Rufus and windows 7 USB/DVD download Tool and Microsoft's official  to create bootable USB drive to install .

               But did you know you can create bootable USB drives of Windows setup without using any extra software? Yes, you heard it right. By following a few simple steps, you can make your own bootable USB drive to install Windows OS without any 3rd party software.

This manual method requires only 3 steps:

• STEP 1: Format USB drive (optional)

• STEP 2: Mount or extract Windows setup ISO file

• STEP 3: Copy Windows setup files to USB drive

Please note that this method can be used to create bootable USB drive of Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows8/8.1 and Windows 10. This method doesn't work for Windows XP bootable USB drive.

So without any further delay let's start the tutorial:

STEP 1: Prepare USB Drive as Per Requirements :

If you want to make Windows Vista or Windows 7 bootable USB drive, a 4GB USB drive will be sufficient. But, if you want to make a bootable drive of Windows 8, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, you'll need an 8GB USB drive.

Now format the USB drive using FAT32 or NTFS file system. We recommend formatting the USB drive using NTFS file system for better compatibility with newer Windows versions.

 To format USB drive, attach the drive to your computer system, open Windows Explorer, right-click on the USB drive icon and select Format option.

 

This step is optional. If you don't want to format your USB drive, you can skip this step but make sure there is enough free disk space on your USB drive to copy Windows setup files.

STEP 2: Mount or Extract Windows Setup ISO Image File :

Now you'll need to extract all files from Windows setup ISO. You can extract the files using a file archive software such as 7-Zip, WinRAR, etc.

         By Using Win RAR or 7-Zip extract ISO file in a folder. or If you are using Windows 8 or later, you don't need to use any file archive utility, you can directmount the ISO file as a virtual drive in Windows Explorer. You can do this by right-clicking on ISOimage file and then selecting "Mount" option.

 

It will immediately mount the ISO file of Windows setup as a virtual DVD drive in Windows Explorer.

STEP 3: Copy Windows Setup Files to USB Drive :

Now you just need to copy all files from extracted or mounted Windows ISO to your USB drive.

 

That's all. You have successfully made a bootable USB drive which can be used for all purposes as mentioned in the beginning of the tutorial.

Repair Damaged,Corrupted and not detecting SD card or USB Flash Drive and solve windows was unable to format the drive problem

How to Repair Damaged and not detecting SD card or USB Flash Drive and Solve Windows Was Unable to Format the Drive :

If your PC does not detecting your SD card or USB flash drive and you are thinking of buy a new one, just wait and try this before spending bucks on the new one. When we inserted a corrupted flash drive into the USB port and try to access it, it shows an error like this:

You need to format the disk in drive before you can use it.

When you click on the Format Disk and start the format, it displays the following error:
Windows was unable to complete the format.

If you also have similar kind of problem with your SD card or External hard drive or USB flash drive, then keep reading. I am going to demonstrate a method to fix corrupted storage devices. The windows was unable to format the disk because it has no specific file system (e.g. NTFS, FAT) associated with it. This drive is called RAW drive and it can be repaired by formatting the disk.

NOTE: Before moving further, please note that this will remove all data from your SD card/ flash USB drive permanently. If you have some important data, you can try some hard drive data recovery tools before trying this. There are many hard drive recovery softwares available for free which can recover data from USB drives and external hard disks. 

Before trying this method to repair your SD card, I would suggest you to try my previous method as it is easy and safe to perform. If that not work for you, you can come here and follow the below steps. Here is the link to my previous post

Windows was Unable to Format the Drive -Solution

If you are sure you do not have any important files on your drive and want to repair it by formatting, follow these steps:

1. Plug your drive into the USB port of your PC. Make sure only the damaged / corrupted SD card or USB flash drive is connected to PC and remove any other removable storage devices. 
2. Then Open the Computer window and note down the drive letter. As you can see in my case it is D 

3. Press Win Key + R to open Run box and type cmd. Hit enter and Command prompt window will launch. You can directly open command prompt by using the shortcut Win key + X and choosing Command prompt. 

4. Type diskpart and press enter. An warning message will show up, just click Yes and a new command prompt window will open with heading DISKPART. Now, you need to type all the commands in this window. 

5. Type list disk in order to list all the disk drives connected to your System. Detect your drive by its size as one will be of huge size(your Internal hard disk) and other will be your SD card/ USB flash drive. That’s why I asked you to remove all the other drives from your system. 

6.Next, You need to choose your corrupted disk drive. Perform this step very Carefully because if you select the wrong disk number by mistake, it can remove all the data from your internal hard disk. Type select desk "your disk number ".  As you can see, In my case it is  Disk 2 of size 8 GB, So I will type select disk 2 and hit enter

7. Next type clean and a message will displayed that Diskpart succeeded in cleaning the disk.

8.Next you need to type the command - create partition primary and hit enter. A success message will be displayed.

 9. After this type active and hit enter.

10.Now you need to execute the command select partition 1.

11.Finally, we are going to format the drive with file system FAT32 , so type format fs=fat32 and press enter.

 12.It will start formatting yout drive, it will take quite a long. Just minimize it and wait for format completion.

 When the format completes (100%), close the command prompt window and go to computer in order to check the drive. Verify your drive by compying some date in it. By this method, you can repair your corrupted SD Cards, USB flash drives and even your Extenal hard drives. Again , after performing above steps you will lose all your previous data, so, if  you have some important data in your drive, try to recover it first using hard drive recovery software. Here is the summary of all the above performed operations in cmd in order.

-diskpart

-list disk

-select disk ‘your disk number’

-clean

-create partition primary

-active

-select partition 1

-format fs=fat32
