Shut down PC and Sound in one go

Post by curious »

Hi -

Is it possible when shutting down WinXP to also shut down the sound?

I have a shortcut
%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 0

to shut down and would like to add whatever to also turn off the sound.

Thank you.

I don't understand your question - when the computer is turned off, sound wil be off too, won't it? Or am I missing something?
Best wishes,
Hans

No, Hans, you're not missing anything. It's my inability to be clear..............

I am after turning off the loud speaker's "on light." (WIll you tell me to get a robot to do this?)

Best wishes,

I don't know how to do this with software, but there are hardware solutions which can power off peripheral equipment when you power down the PC. See for example http://www.oneclickpower.com/store/gbu0 ... MP205.html
