whats wrong here?

code:

---

shutdown -s -t 60 -c "Fatal error encountered."
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 10 -W 1000   
Shutdown -a
Start iexplore

---

I'm seeing if i can make a little fake error message but i can't seem to get it right, I need it to open the error message and count down from 1 minute and then when it gets to ten just open IE as if nothing had happened. What actually happens is the error message appears for a second then disappears .

Any Ideas?

thnx in advance.

The command prompt only runs stuff if it's running as well, for example, try running ipconfig.exe (C:\WINDOWS\System32) without the command prompt running. It should do the same as what your program does.

Now try opening command prompt and typing in "ipconfig". It should run.

Edit: I've tried your code, it works perfectly when executed via the command prompt but it does not execute by just clicking "Open".
