Easy shutdown 1

[snowsurfer911]

There's away to have a icon and with one press shut down the system, anyone know how?? I forgot how it's done!!!

Shutdown:
"shutdown -s -t00" if I remember correctly

Restart:
"shutdown -r -t00"

 

[MDLU]

oops, there's a space between the "-t" and the "00"

if you go to the cmd window and type "shutdown /?" it'll give you all the options.

Make a batch.file with the command.
Open notepad
Write in your prefered shutdown command
save it at your desktop as e.g shutd.bat
Now drag the icon down to your quick launch bar.
You have shutdown with one click on the quicklaunch bar.

Ran over to the neighbors...here's what she uses:

In XP,

Click [New] [Shortcut] to open the Create Shortcut Wizard
Type [shutdown -s -t 00] without the brackets.
Click [Next] and type a descriptive name of your choosing for the shortcut
Click [Finish]

Desktop Reboot Icon
Right click on the desktop
Click [New] [Shortcut] to open the Create Shortcut Wizard
Type [shutdown -r -t 00] without the brackets.
Click [Next] and type a descriptive name of your choosing for the shortcut
Click [Finish]

Only problem is the machine won't shut off, just goes to the blah blah screen.

This little utility works for her though,

http://www.budja.com/shutdown/shutdown.exe

(download)

http://www.budja.com/shutdown/

(instructions)

copy the file in the root ("c:\&quot. run the utility in the command line for options. create a desktop shortcut with the following syntax in the "Target" field:

"c:\shutdown.exe" -l : logoff
"c:\shutdown.exe" -u : shutdown then power off
"c:\shutdown.exe" -r : restart
"c:\shutdown.exe" -h : hibernate

She's an Office Manager and leaves her desk unattended many times a day. Apparently when the boss barks, she doesn't have the time to shut down normally.
