Dear Viewers, A am a huge fan of TinkerNut so it was nice to watch another video made by them. I love this video very much, however nothing is perfect. I'm not entirely sure why you would need to do this besides it being entertaining, but I can see some vague reasons why and you need certain applications for this tutorial such as a specific type of e-mail engine. Overall, quite a good video.
Sincerley,

Well, if you were doing a looong download of say, a torrent file then you might not want to sit around waiting for it to finish in nine hours time. Being able to shut down the computer like this from a long distance away would be good I think?

This can be done without kwiry. Just create a contact in your phone for your outlook email address. When you set up the rule, have it check the body of the email for shutdown and then start the application. This one here would be nice as a little prank, but you would need access to Outlook on the victims computer. Also, you can have your .bat file do things you want it to do, like shutting down and app instead of shutting down the whole computer, or doing a shutodwn and restart shutdown -r instead of -s.
