How To Restart/Shutdown Using CMD


-task bar disappeared? 
-Screen resolution is off and can't see your task bar ? 
-RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) and no restart/shutdown options ?
- just bored of doing the routine restart (start menu-->shutdown ->restart)? 
-or maybe you just want to look cool around people ;-}? 
or just for fun and want to prank others?
so how to restart using the Dos command or CMD?

Step 1: Open CMD
to open CMD : 
1. on your keyboard: hold windows logo key down and press "R" 
this will open Run 
2. type: CMD and hit enter 
this will open the Dos Command

you can open CMD in many ways but I prefer this way in case your screen resolution is off and you like to see what you're doing.


Step 2: Command Line to restart
to restart type the following (noting the spaces): 
shutdown /r /t 0

NOTE: there's a 1 space before each forward slash "/" and 1 space before x seconds (between t & # of seconds you specify).

Explanation: 
/r to request restart 
/t 0 sets the time to 0 seconds until it restarts. 
you can choose from /t 0 for zero seconds up to /t 1,440,000 (400 hours) [corrected] 
Examples: 
shutdown /r /t 60 =1 minute until the system restarts 
shutdown /r /t 180 = 3 minutes until the system restarts

Step 3: Good to know: Command Line to shutdown
to Shutdown, type the following (noting the spaces): 
shutdown /s /t 0

NOTE: there's a 1 space before each forward slash "/" and 1 space before x seconds (between t & # of seconds you specify).

Explanation: 
/s to request shutdown 
/t 0 sets the time to 0 seconds until it restarts. 
you can choose from /t 0 for zero seconds up to /t 1,440,000 (400 hours) [corrected] 
Examples: 
shutdown /s /t 60 =1 minute until the system shuts down 
shutdown /s /t 180 = 3 minutes until the system shuts down

How to Make Windows Photo Viewer Your Default Image Viewer on Windows 10

Image
Windows 10 uses the new Photos app as your default image viewer, but many people still prefer the old Windows Photo Viewer. You can get Photo Viewer back in Windows 10, though. It’s just hidden. If you upgrade a PC running Windows 7 or 8.1 to Windows 10, Windows Photo Viewer will be available and you can set it as your default photo viewer if you want. However, if you perform a clean installation of Windows 10—or buy a PC with Windows 10 already on it—you can’t access Photo Viewer at all. The interesting thing is that Photo Viewer is still there. It’s just hidden and you’ll have to make a couple of Registry edits to have it show up. After you do that, you can then set it as your default photo viewer. The Problem For whatever reason, Microsoft opted not to include the Registry keys that enable access to Windows Photo Viewer on Windows 10. Those keys are kept in place if you upgrade from a previous version of Windows, but they aren’t created during the installation of Windows 10. Micro...
