Then I used their start menu and put it in the folder called startup. What it did was immediately open the shortcut which sends the command for him to log off. After a while of whatching him get angry he left the computer to get help when I said I couldn't. When he'd gone I went onto a seperate user and deleted the file from his user through C: and Documents and settings. Though I never admitted I had done it. It was so funny though.

When you are writing the command line in your shortcut, there has to be a space between the target link and the command. So for example, it has to be something like : C:\Windows\System32\Shutdown.exe -s If you don't leave a space between the "exe" and the "-s" then the computer thinks that shutdown has the file format "exe-s" which is of course invalid. So make sure you leave a space between the target link and the command for it to work. After numerous email queries, I just want to clear something up that I wasn’t too clear on in the article.
