Alright I came up with a couple of things. I'am attaching an poweroff.EXE which is a pre complied AHK script. copy the exe to your c:\ or where ever and In gameex advanced config/tweaks&performance goto the also launch no wait to c:\poweroff.exe or where ever you put it. This will load the script with gameex. Note there are two versions one using num5 and the other using 5. My Ipac uses 5 so I included it just in case. Ive also made it so that it only shutdowns windows if gameex is the active window that way you dont accidently do it in a heavy game of super mario bros I have also put in a couple samples in case you want to change and make it your own. Here's the guts bkenobi Heres an example script of 5 running the shutdown sequence #singleinstance #ifWinActive, GameEx 5::run shutdown /s -t 00 Heres an example script of SHIFT+5 running the shutdown sequence #singleinstance #ifWinActive, GameEx +5::run shutdown /s -t 00 Heres an example script of numpad7+5 running the shutdown sequence #singleinstance #ifWinActive, GameEx Numpad7 & Numpad5::run shutdown /s -t 00 scripts.zip
