Is this inside a case? If is, It should work, I got a message that says Windows will shutdown in 1 minute, but I aborted it. So I'm not sure what the error is?

[Anthonyrox8]

mmm inside a case? lol

[The Maffyx]

Select Case
Case 1
<here>
Case 2
Case 3

[Anthonyrox8]

Also before i leave how do u start a program with Vb such as solitaire

[Anthonyrox8]

no its not its in an other form Form1

[The Maffyx]

do

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("filepath to solitaire.exe here")

That can be placed in a button, case or whatever, pretty standard.

m still having trouble with the shutdown thing i want a box to popup and say would u like to continue and have a OK button at the bottom but its just not working with the shell thing

As I dont have MS Visual Basic Express installed on my computer I cant do it in VB, but I can do it in C# for you.

if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to continue?", "Confirm", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.Yes)
{
Shell("shutdown -s -t 100");
}

Basicly it checks if you press the 'Yes' button.
Should be easily adapated to visual basic.

Straight conversion of what MaiN posted to VB.NET:

If MessageBox.Show("Do you want to continue?", "Confirm", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) = DialogResult.Yes Then
    Shell("shutdown -s -t 100")
End If

Ty for all of ur post you realli helpped me rep to all of u

[nightshack]

Easier:

        If box.Text = "Notepad" Then
            Shell("notepad", vbMaximizedFocus)
        End If

'box" would be the combo box

well this one is easy to do in "Easy Coding" u dont have to use those VooDoo codes. just use the very normally used codes :

If Combobox1.text = "Item" Then
Shell (Item) - Only if its shell
Elseif Combobox1.text = "Item2" then
blalba
Elseif combobox1.text = "Item3" then
blslslbls


just keep on doing this.

This is exactly what case switch statements are for.

Select Case combobox1.text
      Case Item1
        return a;
      Case Item2
        return b;
      Case Item3
        return c;
      Case Else
         msgbox("Error")
        return x;
    End Select
