end the process 'login.scr', and then it will shutdown fine.
Sizing a saved remote desktop window to make scroll bars not appear
- Save the remote desktop connection to a file.
- Edit the remote desktop connection file with Notepad.
- Find the width and height of the full size remote desktop, to do this find the
values of desktopwidth and desktopheight
- Choose some bigger versions of those number, too big is fine, so just add 200 pixels to each
- Use those bigger values as the last two values for winposstr
- Now if you use that remote desktop connection file the window will be stretch wide
enough not to show scrollbars
- See below for a real example
