This nice trick was published in TechRepublic Windows XP Newsletter. If you are a command prompt fan, this might be new to you. You can have UNC path of a mapped drive included in C:\ prompt.

Go to System Properties (Windows Key + Pause is the quickest way), Advanced tab, Environment Variables then add a new variable to System Variables with a name PROMPT and value of $m$p$g.

You probably know that you can use Tab key to complete folder and filenames in command prompt, but it won't hurt if write it down. You have to go to registry and set the CompletionChar key in \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Prompt to value 9. Works like a charm.

The Remote Shutdown dialog box can be displayed only by typing shutdown /i at the command prompt. If the remote computer is functioning properly, but Shutdown.exe fails to restart it or shut it down, wait for two minutes before making a second attempt: Either the log on dialog box or the unexpected shutdown dialog box is open on the remote computer, causing an error. Shutdown Event Tracker records data only for the Restart and Shutdown options. If the System State Data feature is enabled and you specify an unplanned reason for the restart or shutdown, a file containing relevant system data will be created in the %windir%\system32\LogFiles\Shutdown\ directory. The System State Data feature is enabled by default on all Windows Server 2003 family operating systems. For information on defining custom reasons, see "Best practices" under Related Topics. The Warn users of the action check box is selected by default. --------PS. Yes I did just copy and paste this. I am going to give you the site of where I got it from. http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/77db3ca9-e4f8-49cf-b415-7c268f77c9411033.mspx? mfr=true And yes this does work. I tried it out on my brothers. By the way. You can only do this to computers on your network. If you could do it to other peoples computers then it would be mayham and idiots would turn off your computer every second. I believe there are ways to turn off other peoples computers not connected to your network but this is hacking and you can go to jail. I recently wanted to learn how to do this but when I read that then I stopped dreaming. You can not go to jail for hacking into your own network and pulling this fun little trick off. Thanks. By the way. It is a lot easier to type in shutdown -i then doing that stupid command line. If you need any more infomation about this then google. Shutdown computers Remotly on your network. This trick is a lot of fun.

Type the following: net user (USER NAME) /add *NOTE * Where its says user name activate "NUM LOCK" and hold down "ALT" key while typing in 0160. You will notice a space appears because you have typed in an invisible charector. hit the windows logo key + L to confirm to add a password type net user (USER NAME {in this case the secret code}) and * type new and confirm. This is usfull and untracable during a hackon line (Le...git) For more tricks, Request for my EM
