Restart your remote desktop


Recently , when i logged in to my office desktop via remote desktop, felt that machine is running out of resources and is fully hanged up...:-s)

So as usual what came into my mind is to restart option for the machine..But i'm in desktop..Can i do it via remote desktop..?

i tried the usual way - Start ---> Shutdown/Restart..

but windows start menu is not allowing me the usual options there . it shows only lock / Disconnect.

So i gave a try with the golden rule.. == Google it !

Found some hits and followed below steps to get this working..

Start --> Run (usual run command window) --> type in shutdown -i

It gave me a window to select some options and restart my remote machine.

You can even shutdown the machine - if you wish to do so..:)

And also you can set a message to show other user as well.. so at least they will see the
message , why the machine is getting restart.
