Right click on the desktop..select "new"...then click on "shortcut"......n in the dialog box that
comes type "shutdown -s" and "shutdown -r" to create icons to "shutdown" and restart
"respectively".
And once u have created icons....u can also assign shortcut keys so that u can shutdown and
restart easily.
Well...i know this is a really beginner type of tip....but i guess by posting here.....it might
help someone...
well...i also have a question regarding this shortcut...whenever i click on it...theres a 30
second delay before it shuts down or restarts.......any way i can remove this??? | | Senior Member with 393 posts. | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Dubai Experience: know a little...learning lots more... | | guess no one found this top useful.......  ........lol.... | | Account Disabled with 8,750 posts. | | Join Date: Mar 2001 Location: Mass. | | Howdy
Have you tried the shutdown on XP?
It only shuts down windows but not your computer...

Most XP machines go only as far as the "it's safe to shutdown your computer" screen, then you have to push the power button | | Distinguished Member with 6,940 posts. | | Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Kansas Experience: Advanced |

#10 | Pretty cool. Mine also shuts down the power too when I go to start/shutdown. I'm thinking i'll probably do that, then rename them 'shutdown' and 'restart', then stick both in my C:\WINDOWS folder. That way I can press Logo+R to get to the run box, then type shutdown to shutdown or restart to reboot
Thanks for the tip. | | Account Disabled with 8,750 posts. | | Join Date: Mar 2001 Location: Mass. |
