Background Information:
You can create desktop shortcuts to shutdown or restart Windows, or go into standby or hibernate mode, with a single click. You can put these shortcuts anyplace you like — on the desktop itself, the Quick Launch bar, your Start Menu — wherever.
To make a new shortcut, right-click on an empty part of the desktop (or inside a folder). Select New, then Shortcut. A “wizard” will pop up to guide you through the rest of the process. You will have to provide a command line in the location, and then a name. The name can be anything you want.
The commands are:
Note: the number 30 can be replaced by any other number. That number corresponds to the number of seconds before the computer will shutdown. Here I have chosen 30 in order to have enough time to close it before my computer shuts down. Also, the message between quotes can be replaced by something like "YOU HAVE BEEN INFECTED BY A TROJAN VIRUS" or some other great idea. However, the message must be between quotes.
Note: This is very real and the system will shutdown in the time specified. So if you have run the shortcut and then wanted to stop the shutdown then to this:
Now Making it Auto-Executable:
Copy the shutdown shortcut and paste it to the Startup Folder
For Windows 7/Vista: Click on Start > All Programs > Startup
For XP: Navigate to this folder C:(system drive)\Documents and Settings\"YOUR USER NAME"\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Now your shutdown virus is added to the windows startup and whenever the system is started this will execute automatically.
Now if you want to make this more freaky! then u can reduce the time to as minimum as 1 or 0 second. So whenever the the system starts the user will not even get a second to cancel the shutdown. So the system will shutdown instantly whenever it is started!
