Shutdowngui For Windows/pe, ShutdownGUI-Plugin Options

[solara]

Taken from the spysweeper plugin:

<MITEM TYPE="ITEM" DISABLED="@Not(@FileExists(@GetProgramDrive()\Programs\ShutdownGUI\ShutdownGUI.cmd))" CMD="RUN" FUNC="@exec(cmd.exe /c @GetProgramDrive()\Programs\ShutdownGUI\ShutdownGUI.cmd @GetEnvVar('ramdrv')\ShutdownGUI,0)">Shutdown Windows</MITEM>

This seems to launch the cmd file without opening a separate window beforehand. Granted the default way of launching the cmd only shows a blackscreen window very briefly...but it's a little of an eyesore. So the above should launch shutdowngui.cmd without any obvious Command window being opened.

Btw, any way to modify peshuteject so that if it's run, it will automatically copy itself to the ramdrive, and then get executed? And would it be possible for your version of shutdowngui.exe to be viewable on top of the PELock screen?

If those two options could be implemented, then the option to Shutdown/Eject would then be accessible from the PELock screen as well (currently the shutdowngui.exe is hidden below the PELock screen. And even if it's visible, selecting Shutdown/Eject would not work since it wasn't launched by the cmd, and there is no copy of itself on the ramdrive.)

H,i iam new to this forum.

I came to know about PE builder recently and built one successfully after a lot of trial and errors.

@Joshua

I downloaded and used your ShutdownGUI V1.2 and used it. My problem is it is ejecting the wrong drive.
i.e.

I had 2 drives:
LG CD writer connected as Secondary master and
Asus CDROM connected as Secondary slave.

I use my cd-writer to boot the PEcd.
whenever i press the button Shutdown/Eject, it ejects the Asus drive tray instead of my LG cd-writer tray.

IS this a bug or do i need to make any adjustments to any of the files?

my PE builder version: 3.0.32
XPE version: 1.0.2

Hi Joshua,

We have a VB program that maps a drive and launches ghost. When ghost finishes and exits, then the program is suppose to reboot the PC. All works well when the CD is in the drive, but we want to remove the CD so that when we return, the PC is at the sign on screen. The person doing the ghosting would remove the CD and leave the room to ghost another PC. It would make his life so much easier if he did not have to reboot the PC when he re-entered the room. Do you know of anyway to restart the computer without the CD being present?

Thanks!

We have a VB program that maps a drive and launches ghost.

Do you have the Sourcecode from the vb-program?
then it is possible.

Joshua

[bpl5000]

Yes, we have the source code... we made the VB program. What do I need to add to make the PC reboot when the CD is removed? I've tried "nu2shell -r" and I tried running the ghost reboot program from a network drive, but it only works if the CD is present. Help!

Thanks!

[Joshua]

Yes, we have the source code...

You have to put the routine to shutdown windows in to your vb program.
it was a special API-call that works under pe.
I am not at my private home pc, there fore i can not post it in this moment.
if you need the code, send me a pm with your email-adress, and i send it to you
in the evening.

Ok, I sent my email address... hope you got it. Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it!

Hi Joshua

Sorry to keep bugging you, but I have another problem I cannot figure out so I need help from an expert. I want to put a CD eject statement in my VB program. I tried using mciSendString, but it doesn't work in the PE environment. Is there an API-call that I can do in the BartPE environment?

Thanks

[Joshua]

@bpl5000
i have send you a test program.
is that what you wan't ?

Joshua

[bpl5000]

Thanks for the program, but what I would really like is the code that ejects the cd so I can put it into my VB program

[this-is-me]

I need the unlock code myself, I can eject the drive if it us unlocked first.

[Joshua]

@bpl5000
@this-is-me
i will upload the program with sourcecode (visualbasic) in the evening.
