Infact, just to see how easy it is, I just wrote it now, it’s faily
simple, and looks like this:
Version 0.5 (origional desighn):
http://sparda.hopto.org/shutdown.png

Version 1.0 (better desighn):
http://sparda.hopto.org/shutdown1.png

I wrote it in VB .NET, if you don’t have VB .net, I can rewrite it
for VB 6, if you don’t have either, then I can give you the compiled
exe (along with the source), but one, (at least from your point of
view) it should be classed as untrust worthy (since I’m not an
expert programmer, nor am I a company that publishes programs), and
two if you need to edit the shutdown timer, you would have to ask some
one with VB 6 or .NET to change it in the source.
