How to Remotely Shutdown Other's Computers

Things you should know before you begin:

-You NEED a computer​

-You NEED a friend’s computer​

-You NEED a pencil/pen and paper or a really good memory​

-This only works if both computers are on the SAME network (i.e. computer labs at school)​

HOW TO REMOTELY SHUTDOWN OTHER’S COMPUTERS

Before I start I want to make sure that anyone reading this guide understands that you MUST be on the same network as the computer you are trying to shutdown. This means that you can’t do it to a friend who lives next door, and most of the time it wont even work on to a computer in your house. However you may be able do this to computers on an office floor, or in a computer room/lab at school or the library.

Step 1:

First off, you will need to find the computer name of your targeted computer (this is the person you will be turning off).

To do this, you need to get to their computer somehow (sorry I don’t have a guide on sucking up or invisibility). I suggest you wait until they go to the restroom or look away for a second (you'll only need to be on their computer for about 15 seconds or less). After you get on their computer you need to click ‘start,’ then right click on ‘my computer.’ Here you will see a little list, of which at the bottom will be ‘properties.’ Click ‘properties.’



After clicking ‘properties,’ look on the ‘computer name’ tab for the ‘full computer name.’ WRITE IT DOWN (another smart idea to shorten the time you're on their computer is to take a picture of it using your cell phone). Generally it will be something with some numbers and the word ‘YOUR’ in it. That’s always the default computer name and remains unchanged for most computers.



Now you're all done on their computer. Make sure you put the screen back to how they left it so they don't think something is up.

Step 2:

Now go back to your computer. Click ‘start,’ then click ‘run’ (bottom left, under 'search').



After the ‘run’ screen opens it should look like this:



Now type ‘CMD’ into the box provided and click 'OK.' Now this window should pop up:



When it opens type ‘shutdown/i’ and this window will open:



All you have to do now is click ‘add’ and type the name of the computer that you wrote down (or took a picture of) earlier (I suggest that you practice on yourself the first time then cancel the shutdown, see extra tips). You can also change the shutdown delay and even write a little message to the person you are shutting down in the 'comment' box. Try using a fun one like 'Your computer has been infected with an unknown device and needs to delete all open files.' That should really freak someone out who has a report or something important on the screen.

Extra tips:

If you wish to abort the shutdown during the timed delay, type ‘shutdown/a’ into the command prompt and it should abort the process.

I hope this guide helps and happy pranking!!!

 

haha Good Guide Bro <3. Will use this at college haha.

 

Forgot to mention, when typing what I've listed. Do not include the quotation marks. So 'CMD' is CMD and 'shutdown/i' is shutdown/i.

 

Yeah bro i kinda figured. 9/10 good effort.

 

Thank you

 

Good use, but I am trying to remmeber if I have seen thsi somewhere.

 

Not that I know of... I posted this on my clan forum about 3 months ago, but I doubt you've been there lol.

 

Nah i havnt seen this anywhere either. good find tho

 

My brother and I were just messing around with command prompt one day and I was jw if it worked so i tried it

 

haha.. Post more guides like this and you'll be sure to get UE

 

Haha great guide mate 10/10

Will use this at skwl when my mates piss me off

 

Thanks and have fun!

 

This has been posted more times than the hookers who have STDs.
4/10.

 

Thanks for the 'positive' feedback mate. Everyone else liked it...

 

If your trying to remark me then your not funny.
Apparently I'm not everyone else.
Don't get me wrong, this is a fun trick to do to people.
It just worries me when theirs each of these threads on every other
list of pages containing the same information.

I'm sorry.

 

Well I dont see anything of the sort. And if there is, im sure none of them help nearly as well as this does. Thats for the feedback, and check out my other guides.

 

How do you have 4 guides popped out at once, does anyone else have any suspisions that these are ripped?

And anwyays this has been posted over 5 other times, so 4/1o

 

Ive made all these guides weeks before I started my application... Im sorry for being well prepared, jesus christ, grow up

 

The command line arguments aren't hard to learn on your own; you don't need the GUI to do everything for you.

Code:

shutdown /s /m \\computer /t 999 /c "COMMENT"

You can also find a list of computers in your network:

Code:

net view

Not much of a guide. :/

 

haha dumb windows
