We will need:
– Microsoft Outlook
– A phone or computer that can access internet and send emails
– 2 email accounts (in this post, we name them account1@gmail.com and account2@gmail.com
Tested with Windows 7, Outlook 2010 and Nokia 5800.
Create a shutdown bat file
1. Open notepad and type in:
c:\windows\system32\shutdown -s -f -t 01 (01= 1 minute, this means your computer will be shutdown in less than 1 minute)
2. Save it as
shutdown.bat. You can save it anywhere you like.
II. Configure Outlook.
We use account1@gmail.com with Outlook. Make sure you’ve already configured your email with Outlook before we continue
1. Go to
File->Options.
2. Now, go to
Advanced tab and click on
Send/Receive button.
3. When the window pops up, please config it like below.
4. Go to
File->Manage Rules & Alerts.
5. Choose
New rule… at the pop up window and choose
Apply rule on messages I receive, click on
Next.
6. In the next step, choose
with specified words in the subject,
on this computer only and then click on
specific words.
7. Type in
shutdown when the Search text box appears, click on
add and then
Ok. Click on
Next to jump to the next step.
8. In this step, you
MUST choose
Start application and
Delete it (so when Outlook receives your shutdown email, it will perform the shutdown task and then delete the email.
If you leave the email there, your computer will be shutdown the next time you launch Outlook 
). Click on application to choose the
Shutdown.bat file.
9. After that, you can hit the
Finish button (Don’t worry, there’s nothing in the next step). Your
Rules and Alerts window will look something like this:
III. From your phone or computer:
1. Simply log into
account2@gmail.com from your phone browser (or email client), send an email to
account1@gmail.com with subject:
shutdown (you can write anything in the body of the email) and see what will happen with your computer
