Hello,

The proper way to shut down explorer interactively:
1. Display classic shutdown dialog(Alt+F4)
2. Use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+"Push Cancel button with mouse"

I want to do exactly the same thing only not interactively - by using batch
script, vbs script(wsh), wmi or whatever method.
(Of course I can always terminate explorer process but I don't want to do
that)
Possible to do that ?

thanks
Vilius

I have found this some time ago, but haven't tried it myself:

If you really want to do EXCACTLY the same, i guess you have to use Sendkeys:

'-----MyScript.vbs-----
set o = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

o.SendKeys "%{F4}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
o.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
o.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
o.SendKeys "%+^{ENTER}"
'--------------------
