IDEA: BruteKill hotkey
Curt:
My XP is getting more and more unstable, and The End is near, I am afraid. But meanwhile I would like to be able to still use it to some degree... Right now I am in the need of a hotkey version for the force / brutekill feature one can have in, say, jgpaiva's Shutdown, so I will be able to shutdown my computer even when the taskbar is unreachable and CPU usage is heavy. The hotkey must be editable.
PhilB66:
Alt+F4 brings up the shut down menu. Then by pressing U you tell the machine to "Turn Off". R is for "Restart.
You could also create a shortcut on your desktop. E.g. Shutdown = shutdown -s -t 0 and Restart = shutdown -r -t 0
You could give it icons and/or assign hotkeys (right click ---> Properties)
jgpaiva:
That's easy!
--- ---F12::
Shutdown,13
That'll force shutdown your computer when you press F12 ;)

Thats one of the reasons I asked for the hotkey to be editable. Alt+F4 brute-kills the active window. I don't remember which program gave me this feature.

Well, jgpaiva, it was easy... to read! ;D
What an earth are you talking about? :-[ Where and how do I change settings for a F button? Or were you referring to Shutdown.exe ?? or..??? Forgive me for being such an ignorrant on IT.
BTW: Shouldn't it be 24 instead of 13 ? Its for emergency 100% CPU-usage situations.

Um... CTRL-ALT-DEL? Why wouldn't that work for you?
It's not an editable hot-key, but if you want to fire up task manager or shut things down, there you go.
