@David and Douwe - The e-mail client that you use has to support VB scripts, which as far as I know, Outlook is the only client on the market that does.
@Justin and Bobby - Like Michael said, to shutdown and restart, just change the “-s” to “-r” in the batch file.

have you looked into outlook (VBA) macro’s to use outlook to retrieve files remotely.. saw a blog with a how-to some where else.. probably more useful, but both seem very cool all the same!

@travisn000 - I think you’re talking about this article: http://tech.shantanugoel.com/projects/windows/remote-file-access-through-e-mail. I was intrigued by that as well, but it requires a lot more coding than what would fit in a 5 minute video…I tried it
There are a plethora of things you can do with this functionality. The skies the limit!

For anyone that is having trouble with a continuous pop-up asking you for your username and password over and over, login to your GMail account and enable POP3 in the settings. That fixed it for me.
