Tried that one before, couldn't get it to work

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
   int shutDown;
   std::cout << "Please enter how long you want to wait before your computer shuts down (miliseconds)\n";
      std::cin >> shutDown;
   Sleep(shutDown);
   CreateProcess("C:\\Windows\\System32\\shutdown.exe");
   return 0;
}



Code:
------ Build started: Project: Shut down timer, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
Compiling...
Shut down timer.cpp
c:\users\joseph\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\shut down timer\shut down timer\shut down timer.cpp(10) : error C2660: 'CreateProcessW' : function does not take 1 arguments
Build log was saved at "file://c:\Users\Joseph\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Shut down timer\Shut down timer\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
Shut down timer - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========


what am I doing wrong here

Code:

STARTUPINFO siSD;
PROCESS_INFORMATION piSD;
CreateProcess((LPCTSTR)"C:\\Windows\\System32\\shutdown.exe", NULL, NULL, NULL, FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &siSD, &piSD);


I think I'm forgetting or doing something wrong here though.

It's telling you exactly what's wrong. CreateProcess does not take 1 argument. Is that hard to understand?

No need to be rude, it should be obvious that I am fairly new to programming and I don't know what a argument is.

An argument is a value passed to a parameter.

Since you're globally defining it, the structure is empty (filled with NULL entries) all you would need to do is change the cbSize member. Anyway, for extra security you could have done { 0 } to ensure the entire structure was empty.

Lastly, I don't think those last two parameters are needed; being that they're optional. So in such a simple application as you've pointed out, it seems trivial Razz


noted, thanks.
