: I run WinXP on my cabinet and EmuWizard shuts down the machine completely. If that's not the case for you, let me know. : ->Dan : : I can't remember right now which was which, but EmuWizard and RD do not "shut down" my PC the same way. With one, my PC goes to the point of saying "It is OK to power down" (or whatever) and I have to hit the power button. With the other, the system completely shuts itself down. : : If I had to guess, I would say that RD was the one that shut down completely. If you guys want to sort it out, I can try it later tonight and post for sure. : : This was with WinXP... : : : Take a look at the EmuWizard source code... I'm doing it without any calls to external modules... just straight Win32 calls within the front end itself. : : : ->Dan : : : : In order to shutdown in an nt-based enviroment, you have to shut down various security calls... You have to do it via a module of some sorts. Which I just happen to have btw. :) If you want me to compile it to a stand-alone exe just contact me. : : : : : ... but it is something that I could probably add with a link out to a dat file or something. AFX will soon support launching exteral exe for PC games and such. I read a post a while back on this work to shut down window. It had to do with creating a shortcut with something like this: : : : : : %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 5 : : : : : Look for the article and see if you can create the file to make the shut down and it should be pretty easy to add to AFX. : : : : : Cheers, : : : : : Ed
