ShutdownPE provides basic and advanced options for shutdown/restart in PE and is designed to work with all current projects.

Features:
  • Provides a nice looking simple GUI similar to XP's and BS Explorer's shutdown dialogs
  • No more accidentally clicking on the current start menu icons and immediately having the computer turn off
  • 1 icon instead of 2 = less clutter in start menu
  • provides an option to eject CD's
  • filebuffers are flushed before shutdown/restart (safe shutdown)
  • run your custom commands before shutdown/restart
  • Integrates with ClearLock or your favorite screen lock program.
  • translate into your native language
  • script option to integrate ShutdownPE and ClearLock with Windows Explorer Start Menu Button - new!

if you would like to help translate ShutdownPE into your native language please send me a PM and I will contact you with further instructions.

Thanks those who took the time to translate

Good Idea :merc:

"Run before shutdown"
option would be great :cheers: , I would like to point it to a .cmd file where I can write things to do before shutdown :cheers:.

ex: sync (btw: If you can find a distributable utility instead of sync, maybe you can add this as the default behaviour of your utility :merc: )
Check this topic for such a request http://www.boot-land...?showtopic=9614 (and post 3 of JFX)

Also, I hope you find a way to support LiveXP too :merc:

and a minor request: when the dialog comes, let us press "Enter" (or Space) and continue shutdown process, I hope you understand what I man.:merc:

Good luck
:cheers:

That's pretty neat ... :cheers: ...

I tried it in a plain cmd-shell Windows PE 2.1 - simply copied the ShutdownPE.exe to system32.

Shutdown and Restart work! Didn't try the Eject CD yet.

What's the Log Off button for? I didn't know PEs were multi-user. For me, it only closes the Shutdown GUI.

Well done.

good idea. should be able to get that in the next release

Also, I hope you find a way to support LiveXP too ;)

I hope to. there are a couple of possibilities. I would prefer to use a native implementation rather than a external utility and I can't always count on Microsoft's shutdown.exe or paragliders shutdown.exe being present on the system. If anybody knows any windows API commands that would work feel free to suggest them.

ha. not PE isn't muti-user. the dialog looked funny with only 2 buttons so I added the 3rd. right now it just trys to kill off all explorer.exe processes. I was thinking of either having it be a Lock computer button or a shell restart button. what do you think?

;) ... I can picture it with only two buttons - might look a bit too "square"!

hmm ... the third button?! Lock might be OK.

Keep in mind that MS explorer.exe may not always be present, if you are planning a universal WinPE 2/3 solution.

Regards :cheers:

Hi patsch,
temporarly try this:
Add_Shortcut,Desktop,,"%SystemRoot%\System32\ShutdownPE.exe",,"%SystemDir%\System32",,,,"Provides options for turning off or restarting your computer."



@homes32,

wonnnderful, x64 version also works nicely on LiveXP :rolleyes::)

I have a verrry minor request:
Can we have animation (I guess called fade out - fade in) optional (and disabled as default if possible)
Reason:
on my qemu tests (I can use only qemu on x64 tests) I wait a loooong while before ShutDownPE does something (opening shutdownpe takes a long time, and when i click shutdown it takes again a lot time all because of fade, after fade ends things works quickly and nicely :) )

:confused1:

@Lancelot or home32:
Where to put the above code in the script?
Would be very nice to have a shortcut to desktop :-)
Thanks for a very nice script :P

any program *should* work as all shutdowpe.exe will do is execute the command you give it. eventually when I get my transparent screenlock program perfected I was going to include it. CWorks' has a screen lock program included in LiveXP that works well for the time being though.

probably not, its still a bit unstable at the moment...anything could happen though depending on how much time I have to work on it this next week or 2.

well, at the moment if you click it will just display a message saying its not configured, but I could possibly make it so that the button will grey out if there is no program configured. I'll play around with it.

may i point you here

http://www.autoitscr...howtopic=101756 (look for DarkLock below)

and here

http://www.autoitscr...h...=91964&st=0

both look promising and might help you to get finished faster with yours...would be great if it would be fully integrated in ShutdownPE with an option to preset password in script and if none is set it should ask for password when lock is started...

Hope it helps...

Can I shutdown or reboot LiveXP using ShutdownPE.exe from batch file?
I did not find information about it in the Readme file and using help keywords from the command line.
Please, write command line parameters for shutdown and reboot, if they are :)
