I have a computer in the next room which my sisters use, and frankly it gets REALLY annoying sometimes and I'd like to shut them up without them knowing. I would like to know how to shut down their computer from mine. I can see their hard drive from my computer, and all I gotta do is change one setting to allow me to run stuff on that computer from here.
Do I have to make a program to do this (if I do, when I run it from here will it run on that computer or this one), or can I do it easier somehow (sending a packet).
Either write a program, or try "shutdown -i" (some more optional parameters but the -i gives the ui) in the command prompt. I haven't tested this method though.

Scroll down until you find Poweroff. I use it on many machines.
Great stuff Thing, I just can't get it working.
I keep getting connectin refused.
SCORE! IT WORKS!
/me gives Thing a big kiss
It's too late now, but all you would have to do is find a way to run c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe on their computer.
What's more fun, however, is to use VNC (http://www.tightvnc.com) to connect to their computer, take control of their mouse and keyboard and let the hilarity ensue :)

Actually, the shutdown.exe that ships with the resource kit, or psshutdown can both schedule remote reboots.
I used to use psshutdown but sometimes had difficulty connecting to remote computers. That's why I switched to Poweroff.

VNC sounded fun, but I couldn't get it working :(
