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.
And mind you, this tutorial is not for
you to invade on other peoples privacy
but just for the knowledge of it.
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.
