vbscript - Yes/no shut down -

i playing vbscript , want make msgbox asks user if want shut down computer or not.

if user clicks yes should see msgbox first computer starts shutdown.

i using code doesn't work.

what problem?

result = msgbox ("shutdown?", vbyesno, "yes/no exm") select case result     case vbyes         msgbox("shuting down ...")         option explicit         dim objshell         set objshell = wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")         objshell.run "c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -r -t 0"     case vbno         msgbox("ok") end select 

as documented option explicit must appear before other statement in script. using anywhere else in script should raise "expected statement" error pointing line option explicit statement. if don't error, have on error resume next in code didn't show.

if move option explicit statement beginning of script, shutdown still doesn't occur, need check return value of shutdown command:

rc = objshell.run "c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -r -t 0", 0, true if rc <> 0 msgbox "shutdown failed exit code " & rc & "." 

the parentheses in msgbox statements shouldn't cause issue long pass single argument function, i'd still remove them.
