Heres how u can create icons to shutdown and restart on your desktop.

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???

Have you tried the shutdown on XP?

It only shuts down windows but not your computer...

very interesting...first I have heard of that working

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

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.

All I have to do to close down and turn off the computer in one action is to briefly press the power button. This is set in the control panel
