I heard that you can shut down someone's computer by pressing a few keys...Has anyone heard of that and how do you do it? I'm curious.

I know you can shut down your own computer by pressing a few keys as well as closing out all of your windows/programs on your comp, but I don't think you can do it to someone elses comp unless you can hack it...

You press the windows button, then the hotkey for turning off your computer then enter.

What do you mean?

She's talking about the ability to shut down someone else's computer with a few simple keys.

If the person somehow invaded your computer. And install some sort of program, they have to ability to do it.

Hotkey? There's a hotkey? Whaattt....LOL

You can run windows without ever using a mouse, to shut down, first you have to hit the windows key, it's the one with a window on it. Then the start menu will open, if you look at "turn off computer" you will notice the you in turn is underlined, this means that if you hit "u" with the start menu open it will open the turn off computer menu. Once there turn off computer once again has a u underneith. Hit U again and teh computer will shut down. This can also be used to shut down or log off or w/e you want.

Alt + sumn + sumn. Iunno, it doesn't work for all computers.

Just push the button next to ctrl then up then left then enter. then left shut down
THE END.

if u press the windows button and the "L" button, ull go to the welcome screen...

By doing that you'd have to hit the "L" button twice since once only brings up the logout menu.

ctrl - alt - delete.... do it in that order twice.... but that isnt a proper shut down...

HEY PEOPLE, IT SAYS "SHUTDOWN SOMEONE ELSES COMP" NOT YOUR OWN COMP. WE ALL KNOW HOW TO SHUTDOWN OUR OWN COMP. READ AND UNDERSTAND BETTER PEOPLE

hack hack hack hack and boom

heheh! yeh... mine is not so much buttons but more of pulling out the power chord

for me its ctrl+alt+delete...then press shut down....

Um I'm all F*cking Confsued ahah :P

The mouse is not considered a key. OP said a few keys meaning on the keyboard.

you walk to SOMEONE'S house and unplug their comp. VIOLA!

Ummm...
It'd take a lot more than a few keys to shut down someone elses computer.
You'd first have to gain access to their computer. That takes a bit of effort.

Also, not many people "hack" computers today. They mostly just....steal stuff. Make some sort of keylogger and send it to the victim, and then voila, all usernames/passwords/credit card numbers emailed to their account.

You can embed a script in the flash to edit the computer's registry. Change a click of the mouse = shutdown, whatever.
