Help need this for remotely shutting down computers...

From the remote PC:

1. Open registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.
   Add a DWORD: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy and set the value to 1
2. Win+R->secpol.msc:
   Security Settings->Local Policies->User Rights Assignment-> Force shutdown from a remote system and Add Everyone to the list
3. Open Device Manager and right click on the Network Adapter->Properties->Power Management and put a check mark on: Allow this device to wake up the computer.
4. In the BIOS, enable Wake On Lan

From the desktop:
Open Admin command prompt and type:
shutdown.exe /s /m \\XXX /t 00

where XXX can be: Computer Name, LAN IP or Network Mac ID of the remote PC

Heck I just use Alt +F4 then I get a menu which pops up and gives me 4 choices to what I want to do on my remote computer. This is when I am ON the remote computer from my main computer.

A member on here was doing that way and has now frozen his computer and lost his right click on his mouse/ he did it on his main computer and it happened

Please read the question before you answer. OP did not log into the remote computer, just want to send a command to shutdown.
