0 Shutdown PC from cell phone ( thunderbird email )

Here u will learn a nice tric to shutdown your Windows PC with a text message.
With an add-on and a few tweaks, it is possible configure this, with a portable copy of Mozilla Thunderbird.
This should take < 10 minutes to set up and configure.

Step 1 - Get thunderbird portable

Download a copy of portable thunderbird:
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable
and extract it by running the exe.

Step 2 - Setup thunderbird & install add-on

First of all, set up an email account. I created a gmail account just for this project. Go through thunderbird's setup process and make sure your email account is configured properly. You'll probably need to login to your account and enable POP/IMAP settings.

Now that you have a portable, working copy of mozilla thunderbird, download this add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2610
This is what makes it all work.

To install this into the thunderbird portable folder, open ThunderbirdPortable, and go to Tools -> Add-ons and click install. Direct thunderbird to the .xpi file you downloaded and it will install the add-on.

Restart thunderbird to proceed.
