The things you will need are............................
- Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 or 2003
- Email account ( Gmail preferred most)
- A "Kwiry" account
- A cell phone capable of sending text messages or emails
STEP 1 : Business with the notepad.
- Open a note pad from the start menu
- In the pad write "c:\windows\system32\shutdown -s -f -t 00"
Where -s means shutdown
-f means to force it
-t 00 means set the timer to zero second
3. Then save this file anywhere you can remember as "shutdown.pc".
STEP 2 : Email accounts
If you don't have a POP3 capable email account then signup for a Google account .Or if you have G mail account which is also linked to Microsoft Office Outlook then you can carry out with the process.
STEP 3 : Organize Outlook
In this step Microsoft Office Outlook is put to action. (I prefer to use Outlook 2007 Cause it is more user friendly and is used more at homes.
- Start > Microsoft Office Outlook 2007
- tools > account settings > Double click on the name or create a new one.
- Fill the form > More setting... > (enable)Outgoing server > Advance > and make sure the " incoming sever POP3 is set to : 995
- And click check the other remaining boxes in advance as well.
- Next > Finish
STEP 4 : Kwiry account
Sign up for a "Kwiry" account but currently the "Kwiry" website seems to be out of date it wont work for some reason.
STEP 5 : Setting a rule in Outlook
- Tools > Send/Receive > Send/Receive settings > Define Send/Receive groups / OR / 1. Hold (CTRL+ ALT + S .)
- Check schedule an automatic Send/Receive every ...: 1 minute so that it checks for new emails every minute > Close.
- Now go to Tools > Rules and Alerts > New rule > Start from a blank rule > check the messages when they arrive.
- Next > Specific words in the subject > specific words
- In the 1st blank type : "Your pc - shutdown" > Add > Next
- Check start application > Click application and select the program "shutdown.pc" which you saved.
- Next > Finish > Apply > OK.
STEP 6 : Send the message.
You can send the message from Kwiry to the relevant fields you filled in or you can log from your phone to a another email account of yours and send an email saying " Shutdown " as the text and the subject as
"Your pc - shutdown" and send it to the email account which you related with Outlook 2007.
FINALLY
Your PC will shut down in a minute as the outlook gets the message.Thank you.
