  1. Hi Sanjay,
    Is there any way to modify the code, in order to get the notification with sound or voice that I’ve created, instead of just message box?
    Thanks.

    1. You have to re-type all the double quotes, and the sole single quote at the bottom of the script (after the 30000).

  2. Fwindows script host gives many errors. 1. double quotes are not recognised, used keypad default ok.
    2. Invalid naespace SWbemLocator.

  3. Please dont use above code.. it puts laptop to mode when power doesnt switch off automatically [power light stays after shut down], later we need to press and close the shutdown process…!!!

    1. Hi Shalu,

      I am using this code for the past 2 years and it doesn’t give me a single issue.

      The problem you described above occurs due to some other conflict.

      Have you checked it correctly?

      Regards,
      Sanjay

  4. A little bit late to the party on this one, but is it possible to make the message box show on top of anything you might have open? I use fullscreen for long periods of time and I only see the the script flashing on the taskbar after I quit fullscreen
