Hello,
I really need some help, i am a total noob on msdos and the cmd prompt. i was just wondering if anyone could teach me or make a file where i can execute the cmd "ipconfig /release" and then my computer will go into "stand by mode" and then cmd.exe exits all into one file u can simply double click. this would mean a lot to me. thanks guys!
@Echo Off
IPConfig /Release
ShutDown -lCopy the above three lines into NotePad and save as MyShut.bat. Create a shortcut on your desktop to the previous saved file and you are done.

ok, so i put the following 3 lines in notepad:
@Echo Off
IPConfig /Release
ShutDown -land then i saved it as ShutDown.bat, i also put the save as type to All files instead of txt. but all it does it spam and repeat continuously release my ip. keeps on saying my ip address has already been released and doesnt go into stand by mode

Never save a batch with the name of an existing command! Naming your batch ShutDown.bat leads you to a loop as when the third line of script is executed the batch itself is recalled instead of the ShutDown -l comand that puts your PC in standby mode.
So rename it as e.g. PCShut.bat and retry.

K, so i named it as PC_Shut_Down.bat. but all it did was ipconfig /release and then logged me off. i want it to go into standby mode not log me off. Stand by mode is when ur comp shuts down but when u press a key on the keyboard, it immediately loads ur computer as if u just turned ur monitor on. so all the fanns turn off and that but if u move the mouse or press keyboard the computer turns on and u can use it immediately

I'm afraid you can't trust me, but if you follow the below instructions and links you'll get your target.
First read this article from *Microsoft* that proves PsShutDown is not a virus
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sy...
Then download the utility from
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/fi...
Extract PsShutDown from the .zip and save in C:\Windows\system32 or in the same folder holding your batch.
Replace the line
ShutDown -l
with
PsShutDown -d -t 0
Run and be aware that to resume operation you have to press any key as the mouse is sometime not sensed.
And remember what Dr. Quatermass said:
"An experiment is aimed to discover the unknown... and it may be a risk."

i dont like ur little quote there at the end =\. but i dont get why i have to dload this file anyway. isnt there a cmd on windows for standby mode?

No, there is no switch to enter standby mode for the native XP ShutDown.exe command line, at prompt type shutdown to see the available options reported by the on-line help. This is why you have to relay upon a third party utility. To download from a well known site is common practice and is at no risk.
The same difference between walking along the Fifth Street in NYC and a trip to the Bronx.
About my little quote: without a bit of curiosity (involving hazard) today we wouldn't enjoy electric power, cars, steam, ISS and cell phones... by the way I hate cell phones.
So, as far as I know, you have no other chances, sorry.
