You could write one in Visual basic then, using the same method,
except, you have a single form, that has one button on it (the cancle
button) then a timer on that form that counts down from 2 moniets to
zero seconds, and once it’s got to zero seconds, it executes the
shell command to forcivly shut down (shutdown -s -f). The problem
using this is that it will forcivly close programs, so if it shutsdown
the computer and a user dosnt notice, then it will lose any work they
havent saved.
