Sorry for the delayed reply. Thanks very much for your help. I didn't see your reply earlier, but I managed to get the pc by using this command:- psshutdown \\media-computer -d -m "COMPUTER GOING TO SLEEP IN 20 SECONDS"

Hi again. Thank you very much for the helpful post topgundcp. I have successfully managed to shutdown the computer. I also removed the EVERYONE group for security issues as it's not needed because I only want an Administrator to have the rights to send any shutdown commands. However, I have...

Cheers buddy. Will let you know how I get on. Thanks again

Topgundcp - I'll give it a try and let you know. By the way, you've given me a command to shutdown, but what would the commands be for SLEEP and RESTART? Caperjack - I already run tightvnc which does better than teamviewer, but all I want to do is to double-click on an icon and something like...

Thanks caperjack. Unfortunately I've already seen that app and I believe it only does WOL and not any of the other commands such as sleep or restart :(

Hi guys, I have a small Home network setup and I want a simple way of sending a command from my pc upstairs to a media pc downstairs which can shutdown/sleep/restart it remotely. FYI, both pc's have windows 8 pro 64bit and the media pc is is mostly in sleep-mode. Can you recommend any app or...

Just want to thank you TairikuOkami for helping me. I have found my solution here:- http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/34478-shutdown-power-menu-add-remove-sign-screen.html After totally removing the menu, I have created shortcuts for shutdown/sleep/restart using the shutdown command. Now...

Thank you for the 2nd link. Unfortunately I tried using that method and was unsuccessful in removing any buttons, hence my post on here.

Thank you for the link TairikuOkami. Just to clarify, does this disable the buttons or the features or can it do both? Because I simply want to remove the options from the buttons,.

Bumpty Bump!

Damn! Thats bad news. It could be hardware or software causing the issue. Oh well I'll keep trying. Thanks again

Really? And noone has found a solution? Not even microsoft? Surely thats a serious bug, considering that sleep mode is needed to save energy?

Thanks caperjack, I did see that, but I'm not on Windows 8.1...I'm on windows 8, thats why I posted my question.

BUMP!

Hi everyone, I have Windows 8 Pro (64-bit). It's currently setup to run as a media server for my home, but I'm getting really annoyed as I keep accidently shutting it down or restarting. The only thing I want it to be able to do is to goto sleep. I don't want to disable buttons just for...

hi guys, my pc used to be fine before and could go into sleep mode (s1-s3) without any issues. Recently though I've noticed that it stays awake in Windows 8. Don't get me wrong, even now, sometimes it works fine, but on other occasions nothing happens. I've tried a lot of stuff:- registry...

Sorry, but this is a shared pc. I know you can get tools to reset passwords, but this is for employees who although are not very IT literate, are the curious type. So how can I block access to the cmd prompt option dat is within safemode?

hi guys, I have protected my pc at work and locked it down so that no employee can access windows 8. Only problem is that yesterday I accidently pressed reset button midway whilst windows was loading and it brought up the safe mode screen. Since I have a full backup image of my drive, I can...

hi everyone, I'm trying to lockdown windows 8 as much as possible for one user. I just want to know the following:- 1. How can I restrict access to multiple files? for example I want to stop them from running many .chm files, so I don't want to select one file at a time...I want to be able to...

hi guys, I have windows 8. I've created 2 group policy files - respectively called locked.msc and the other called unlocked.msc. As you can imagine, the unlocked.msc had default settings and the locked.msc restricted a lot of settings for the user. The problem is that I needed to install...
