This follows on from the previous post on how to force shutdown your Windows machine using a shortcut.  This post shows how to cancel / stop Windows from shutting down after launching the shutdown command (eg by accident).

To create this shortcut, open Notepad, and add the following line of text, then save it with a .bat extension.  You need to hit the shortcut quickly if you want to abort in time.

shutdown.exe -a

Where:
-a abort shutdown
