Hey Guys, I was wondering if anyone knew how you could get to the command prompt, when the computer is shutting down, so that you could abort the shutdown. I know how to abort the shutdown once I am into the cmd, but I want to know how to get into the command prompt. Thanks!
Quickest way to access it is to goto programs, accessories, command prompt, right click and send a shortcut to it to the desktop and run it from there. Might help to set the properties of the shortcut to run as administrator.
Have you tried making a shortcut to the Command Prompt with the command to abort shutdown already in the shortcut? Desktop -> Right Click -> New -> Shortcut -> location of the item: "cmd /k shutdown /a" (without the quotes) -> Next -> type a name -> Finish. I assume you will be using the shutdown /a command, but feel free to replace it with whatever you prefer. Hope it helps!
