Shutdown -s -f -t 00 Is Not Shutting Down Completely
Jan 8, 2010I have a program with the line process.start("shutdown", "-s -f -t 00") However, when it's executed, everything exits, and the logging off text appears, then the screen blackens out and there's only the mouse pointer. Nothing can be done like opening the task manager, I just have to shut it down using the main button, holding it for 7 sec.
View 12 RepliesIDE :: System Tray / Context Menu Shutdown
May 27, 2008I have written a VB.Net Windows Application using VS2003.Net under the 1.1.4322 framework. This application loads a lot of data on startup (about 4MB, taking about 30 seconds) and that data needs to be readily available to the user, so I wrote it to sit in the system tray, using the NotifyIcon and ContextMenu objects.Everything is working fine, even the menu (I have simple options like 'Update' to update the datasets, 'Show' to show the form, 'Hide' to hide the form, and 'Close' to actually close the application).However, when the user attempts to do a Windows 'Log Off', 'Restart', or 'Shutdown', the system refuses.After shutting down every application on the users' computers EXCEPT for my application, the system still refuses to perform the LogOff, Restart, or Shutdown event.In fact, the application I wrote does not even perform it's 'Dispose' method.[code]Therefore, I am convinced that it is my application interrupting the system's process somehow.I have written other Windows Applications WITHOUT the context menu / notify icon objects (apps that don't sit in the system tray) and this problem does not occur.I have also written other applications that DO sit in the system tray, and the same problem occurrs.To summarize this problem: I believe there is something wrong with the way my application is responding to the System events 'Log Off', 'Shutdown', and 'Restart'.This is occurring on Windows XP SP2 computers (has not been tested elsewhere).Could someone explain to me why this happens?? Is there some workaround or some known bug in .Net that causes System Tray applications to interact differently with Windows system events than expected??
View 4 RepliesVS 2010 Custom Shutdown Menu Item?
Oct 1, 2011I have thought that it would be pretty cool to make Boot Snooze, iReboot and similar programs accessible from the Windows Shutdown menu. It would be a pretty neat way to interface with such programs. I realize that this may be extremely advanced stuff here, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this. I would prefer to be able to do this in VB.Net, but I realize it may only be possible in C++, if it is at all. I have tried Googling it, but, most likely due to the advanced nature, I have not found any good results (only "Add Hibernate", "Change default action to Hibernate", etc.).

View 5 RepliesC# - Elevation Without Restarting An Application?
Jul 14, 2009Has anyone managed to get administration rights through the UAC without restarting the application or embedding a manifest file?
I'd like to write to some files that only administrators can modify, without relying to another elevated application. Is it possible to impersonate an administrator previously calling with some native API the UAC prompt?
I guess this is not possible and I'll have to use an external tool with elevated rights, but I'm asking just in case.
EDIT: I know there are some other similar questions around, but since they do not cover the topic of impersonation (as fas as I've seen), nor some possible native call to the UAC prompt I decided to give a new thread a go...

Apr 6, 2010I've made an application that is meant to be run without administrator privileges in Windows Vista / 7, because UAC disables drag and drop events from lower applications into higher ones, because they could pass bad information into the high trust ones [for example, standard explorer cannot pass files into my program that a user might run in administrator].

Stop Application From Shutting Down?
Jul 7, 2010I have a windows forms application that has no form and it runs in the background. It using a webbrowser control to get information off the internet.The program is that when I add the event handler:webbrowser.documentcompleted the program just shuts down. If i put a message box after the event handler then it works just fine because the webrowser has time to load the document. How can I do some like console.readkey that you would do in a console application?

View 1 RepliesRestarting Windows Service From Website?
Sep 3, 2009I've a website that puts info into a mySQL database and a windows service (written in VB.Net) that polls the db and actions what's in there.However, occasionally it stalls and rather than having to RDP into the server, I want superusers to click on a button to restart the service.I can get the button to say, do a directory listing of c: output to a test file so the whole 'getting a command to execute on a remote server' issue works. However, I can't restart services.I assume this is a security thing (although it has full rights to c: I thought I'd sussed that already).The website runs under the normal IUSR_user so am I doing something really stupid or can someone explain how to get the service to be restarted ?

Close Application When Computer Is Shutting Down?
Mar 17, 2009I have written an application that sits in the systray and monitors a database for me. The problem is that this application is stopping some of my clients computers from shutting down, I assume because the app is still running when the computer is trying to shut down.
What I need to know is if there is a way that my application can tell when the computer is shutting down, so that I can close my application and therefore allow the computer to shut down.
I am only running my app on Windows O/S e.g. 2000, XP The application is written in VS 2005, .NET 2 and VB.Net language
Program Stops Windows XP From Shutting Down
May 7, 2009I was in correspondence with someone using my program and he verified that on his system, XP won't shutdown/restart either if my program is running.
Basically what happens is when XP gets to my program in the shutdown process to terminate it, the whole shutdown/restart just stops. I have to exit my program, then start the shutdown again.
The person sent me an image of some threads that were still running after the shutdown process halted and I was curious if anyone might be able to shed some light on this info and what to do about these threads.
These are the threads that are running and what they do: mscoree.dll - a module containing the .NET Framework functions. mscorwks.dll - Microsoft .NET Runtime Common Language Runtime gdiplus.dll - contains libraries for the GDI graphics interface.
