shut down w/o keyboard

[Jeremy]

apart from holding down the power button for 4secs or switching teh psu off or unpluggingn it, is there any software that can force windows to do a full and safe shutdown after pressing the power button on a case?

In your display properties, go to screen saver tab, click power under monitor power, click advanced tab.... That what your looking for?

actually iwas thinking more like some physical action to turn off a computer that has no monitor or mouse or keyboard.

normally i just added a mouse and put a script file on the desktop that shut down the computer, and i had to move the mouse around double clicking until i hit it.

i was thinking about burning a cd with an autorun.inf pointing to a shutdown script, and then all i'd have to do is insert hte cd to shut down the computer

That would be pretty sweet but would seem kind of annoying after a while.

Can't you just remotely log onto it and shut it down?

trojan horse can do that
what i do remember back orifice could do that ..but it was very long time ago

and its not safe

normally i can turn it off remotely, yes, but i don't always have the other computers on, and i want a quick and easy way to do it rather than rely on another computer to do it.
