it allows you to shut down your pc from your mobile phone using outlooks rules/alerts.
I’ve done mine differently in that i just send an email directly from my mobile to myself with the wording in the subject line for whatever i want to do, currently i have it either shutdown or else play a music file………..it can be adapted for many things and i’m sure some of those might actually be quite useful.
the 2 .bat files i currently use are these:-
for shutting the pc down.
C:windowssystem32shutdown -s -f -t 00
and for playing a music file….
“C:Program FilesWindows Media Playerwmplayer.exe” /prefetch:1 “F:all mediaMy MusicMy Musiccollection 6White Lines.mp3”) -f -t 00
i’m sure i could get it to open a game of 2142 for me:-
“E:Program FilesElectronic ArtsBattlefield 2142BF2142.exe” +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 1024 +eaAccountName xxxxxxx +eaAccountPassword xxxxxxx +soldierName wildeggtamer +szx 1280 +szy 1024
so that when i get home the game is already logged in and ready to play…….probably wouldn’t but its possible i’m sure, or perhaps if someone has a media player by their TV, get it to open up windows media player and start the DVD playing or summat……microsoft site has the command lines you can use.
