Remote Reboot Shell Extension
By Matthew Wilson, August 01, 2003
If you work on multiple machines in a distributed environment, shutting down or rebooting remote machines can be a hassle. Rather than logging on to pcAnywhere or deploying the sneaker net, it would be nice to handle this task with a simple mouse click. Here is a shell extension that provides shutdown/reboot of a remote host via an Explorer shortcut. This article will describe the main technical aspects of this utility--the Remote Reboot context menu handler shell extension--and highlight some issues one must consider when creating such shell extensions using ATL, STL, and WTL.
