It works on vista, but the popup does not come up. Sadly, this effect only happens on Windows XP (maybe 2000). Although you cannot see it, the shutdown sequence was started, but Vista does not display the timer. The program runs how it should, minus the countdown display. Soon, I will make a video to do something similar to this effect for vista.
Sorry it took me so long to see this post, but I've been offline for about a month.Anyways, here are the answers to your questions.-s initiates the shutdown sequence. Without it, the shutdown command would do nothing.-t allows you to set the countdown until the shutdown in seconds. Ping localhost is basically sending and receiving data packets from your hard drive.I use it as a countdown, because one ping=1 second. Now >nul means that the command will not be visible when the program is run
instead of two ping localhosts, because then you can set the time left before it stops the shutdown.. just change where I put "5" to any number (its measured in seconds) so you can get a more accurate time to stop the shutdown.
Hey i know how to make a .bat file that will make a friendly on-screen Ghost appear on screen PM me if you want the code...
I can't send you a pre-made one because i converted all of my ones into .exe

some quick questions
does it actually shut down the computer when the time is up?
what does -s and -t stand for (it helps me remember what to type if i know why im typing it)
what does ping local host do and why do i type it twice (again, it helps me remember if know why)
also, ive watched some of your other tutorials, and i still dont get the concept of >nul what does it do exactly?

You could just type "ping localhost -n 5 >nul"
instead of two ping localhosts, because then you can set the time left before it stops the shutdown.. just change where I put "5" to any number (its measured in seconds) so you can get a more accurate time to stop the shutdown.

This batch file should cancel by itself. Running shutdown abort is not needed.
