Windows Sign Out Plugin

[NJDave71]

Instead of Shutting Down or Restarting Windows when exiting Big Box perhaps you just want to Sign Out / Log off. 

This handy plugin gets that job done.  (Great if you have a profile just for launching Big Box)

Instructions
Copy the SignOut.dll found in  SignOut\SignOut\bin\Release\ to you Plugins Folder in Launchbox.

What it does
 Adds Sign Out to the Main root menu in BigBox
Adds Sign Out to the Tools Menu in Launchbox

Included
I have included the Source Code in case you wish to compile it yourself or review the code

Happy Gaming.

Hello !

Can you add the possibility to shutdown the computer when you exit BigBox in secure mode ?

If it's possible, it will be wonderful for me

[NJDave71]

That already exists in BigBox (Exit, Shutdown, Restart).    The ability to Log Off was not an option.    I apologize but I am not sure what you mean by "secure mode."

 

 

[adu]

I was refering to the mode when you put a Secured pin, so if you don't know it, you can't go in the options. That's what I call secure mode (if my daughter use my Arcade cab, she can't mess up with the settings because it is secured by a pin). But in this mode, you only have exit option, but not shutdown computer

I made that setting false but I can check a bit later.   thank u for that suggestion. 

[NJDave71]

I have that set to not show when it's locked This might be a bug in the plugin Library.  Thank u for bring that to my attention.

Thanks to you if you can resolve this issue That's the thing I miss most on my setup to have it complete (and secure )

Try the attached file it the same file just zipped windows security blocks these files.

1. Right click the SignOut.dll and click on Properties.
2. Click on the General tab, check the Unblock box at the bottom, and click/tap on OK.

Does not turn off the machine but goes to the account client screen

[NJDave71]

That is what it's suppose to do.  take you back to the main Welcome screen in windows. 

For example I have three accounts

Admin
Kids
Arcade - Used for Big Box only

when I am done with BigBox I click on Sign out and it allows someone else to login

Hope that answers your question?

I need to turn off the machine completely

[NJDave71]

That Feature exists in Big Box.   the Main menu has "Shut Down"   Item

[slashguns04]

If you activate the security pin the stop system option is not there

I needed the Sign Out protected behind the PIN as well, but the plugin attached in this thread wasn't working this way even though the source code did have the "AllowInBigBoxWhenLocked" set to false. I'm not too familiar with C# but I managed to rebuild it (keeping AllowInBigBoxWhenLocked=false) and it started behaving as you would expect.
