auto - REBOOT OR LOGOFF when show ends

[DDG]

IS it possible to add a vb command or macro to the end of a ppt slide show
so that it will reboot or log off the user when the show stops. I have a
pps that runs on a common computer and for security reasons would like it
to be lockable or simply logoff the user upon ending the show.

? I thought this would be simple but not proven so thus far.

There are ways to call Windows API routines to shut down a computer/user
when a 'presentation end' event occurs, but they are probably not your best
solution. Locking the presentation may be better.

You can combine the looping Kiosk mode of presentation with the No Escape
add-in and make a show that can not be easily ended.

Thanks! I will check it out. Still thinking the autologoff at end of
presentation would be best but I'll look into it and Thanks.
