I have a problem that I keep forgetting to turn off my power amp before I shut down my computer, and I get that annoying fuzz sound as the computer shuts down. Is there a way that I can have windows remind me to turn off the power amp after I click shut down? For example, a popup box that says, "Turn off power amp" and shutdown won't continue until I click ok.

Thanks,

Adam
 
Sounds like a pretty simple VB script.

Use one of the Input Commands and it will pause for an entry and the "enter" key.
 
Technically yeah you could do a script...just create a textfile called "popup.vbs" and add the line:

msgbox "Hey Mr. Memory - Turn Off Your Amp!!"

Then goto Start->Run and enter "gpedit.msc" to start the group policy editor. Expand "Windows Settings" then select "Scripts (Logon/Logoff). For your log off script, choose the file we created in the first step.

how about a post-it note taped to the monitor........
 
Gidge: I've tried the post-it note, but for some reason I still forget to turn the amp off before I click shutdown.
