Hello, I registered here asking for a bit of help. First off I am very new to this language and i need to make a little program off a batch file. I found out how to shutdown the computer using a batch file.. and how to set a specified time to shut off... the only thing that is in my way.. is basically.. that is all i can do really.. 1st it would be nice if someone could help me with some commands... What i want is to have a menu with choices displayed after the batch file is launched that gives you 3 things to choose from.. shutdown in 15 minutes.. shutdown in 30 minutes or shutdown in 60 minutes.. so far all I have is.. Code : shutdown -s -f -t 300 -(300) is 300 seconds Yea thats pretty much what i am limited to.. it would be really great to have some help on this. Thanks in advance. Ryan

Try this: @ECHO OFF CLS :Start ECHO When do you want to shutdown? ECHO Press number of choice followed by the Enter key ECHO 1: Fifteen Minutes ECHO 2: Thirty Minutes ECHO 3: Sixty Minutes ECHO 4: Quit SET Choice= SET /P Choice="" IF '%Choice%'=='1' GOTO Fifteen IF '%Choice%'=='2' GOTO Thirty IF '%Choice%'=='3' GOTO Sixty IF '%Choice%'=='4' GOTO End CLS ECHO "%Choice%" is not valid ECHO Try again GOTO Start :Fifteen SHUTDOWN -S -F -T 900 GOTO End :Thirty SHUTDOWN -S -F -T 1800 GOTO End :Sixty SHUTDOWN -S -F -T 3600 GOTO End :End CLS

You can delete the line: IF '%Choice%'=='4' GOTO End If you don't want the shutdown to be optional.
