Thx for this

[cessnahat]

Great!

[glyndavies02]

Brilliant, thank you very much.

Now I wonder if a combination of AutoHotKey and a voice recognition program could be combined to run these commands by voice... Mmm - Methinks I know what I will be busy with over the Christmas break

[MagisTof]

Shutdown Checklist done.

[Kodos]

CATticus, any chance of that shutdown checklist?

[Kazimierz]

I'll be getting around to a shutdown checklist soon.

[david.hardie]

Excellent :)

What about shutdown? Do I just reverse this list or is it different?
