I Swear, We do have some of the brightest listers in the world on this listserv. Vic, Thank you. I sure think this is going to do the trick. I hope this will work in Windows XP, which is what I have, but I'll try it. And thanks for bothering; It's very much appreciated.

You can get the full help text by going to the command prompt and typing shutdown -? To make this easy you can create a desktop shortcut and assign a hotkey to it.
