Wanna make a Shutdown and Resart button on your desktop? Heres how.

1. Right click the Desktop and select New /Shortcut

2. A screen will appear asking you for a Command Line. Here's what you put in that box:

For Shutdown:
Shutdown -s -t 0

For Restart:
Shutdown -r -t 0

For Log Off:
Shutdown -l -t 0



After you've decided which of the above options to use, click the Next button and give the shortcut an appropriate name.

Then you can give them appropriate icons by right clicking your new icon and selecting Properties and Change Icon...

Have fun

 

very cool shortcut, thanks geestar!

 

thanks -djscoop-, I like to add a little sum sum'n now and then.

 

yeah I love little tips and tricks like this...keep 'em coming!

 

Kinda off topik but I love your sig scoop...

 

yeah I found it online a while ago, at one of the many anti-bush sites

 

YEAH!! your way off topic -Akazecks-....BAN HIM!!! just kidding

And -scoop-....Don't make me start the "Anti -djscoop-" thread...cause I'll do it....

Just figured I'd bump this since it'll be lost in a day.

 

Im thinking, what are the benefits of this? I mean, u kan just go to start and shutdown...

 

Lazyniss and knowledg of doing it.

For me Im running dual monitors and I decided to run monitor 2 as my primary monitor, and as you know (or maybe not) monitor 2 does not have the start button so I decided to add the sutdown and resart to the desktop. To me its mor convinent.

 

Iz... I used to do that with my television set, in that kase I kan z how that kan be useful....

 

My advice is to use the Start Menu item for selecting shutdown. This procedure, while the way you have it set is ok, if this Executable is used improperly can be quite dangerous for someone who doesn't know what they are doing.

For example, you get a n00b who doesn't understand what it is or does, could inadvertantly set the timer for Zero and drop it in their Startup menu block, which would be very nasty. Your Comp would be boot then immediately shutdown upon processing the startup menu. Even in Safe Mode it would execute it.

Just be careful when using stuff like this and make sure you understand how it works.

 

how about to Hibernate the compie, geestar? what's the command?

 

@-Weirdo007-

This is the most easist thing to do...even for n00bs so don't confuse it. All this is is a shortcut nothing more. You would have to drag and drop this or manually configure it to to your startup menu.

@-Auslander-

let me check and test

 

this is cool,but why in a hurry,in front of me is the windows of the world...why rush??? cool idea though....

 

sorry -Auslander-...no command for Hibernation but if I find one you'll be the first to know my good friend.

 

aww, damn...thanks, though, geestar.

 

I know a few people who would probably mess up with that shutdown thing...lol..
