Dan,

It's not clear to me how to implement that batch file in Windows ME. You might check the troubleshooting procedures here.

Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java.

Want to make a hyperlink in your post, want to add a graphic or sound file, need to troubleshoot a non-working Java applet, want to build an attractive signature? These capabilities can be yours if you visit Denny's DellT@lk Tutorials.
For help in deciding what can be eliminated from your Startup list, take a look here.
Want to get rid of Network Neighborhood, change your Registered Owner name? Check out the little utilities at Delltalk Tweekz.
Ready to sign up for Web server space? Want to learn FTP? Visit Web Presence for Beginners.

The easiest way is to simply create a shortcut that contains the "RunDLL" data in the command line. For instance, to use the shutdown method:

1. Right-click on your desktop.
2. Choose New|Shortcut (the Shortcut Wizard starts)
3. In the Command line box, type
RUNDLL32.EXE shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 1
4. Click Next
5. Type a Name for the Shortcut such as Shutdown
6. Click Finish

Double-clicking on the shortcut will execute the code MS provided in the article. Even better, drag the new shortcut onto the taskbar at the bottom of your desktop. Now you have one-click access to the shortcut.
