Windows Shutdown 2

[Pccoordinator]

I had someone ask me a question I'd never heard before. A user want to know if a button can be placed on the desktop to shut down windows with just a click (Instead of going to the start menu, choosing shutdown, then checking &quot;shut down the computer&quot; <br>
It sounds like this should be possible??

Create shortcuts on the desktops pointing to &quot;c:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows&quot;. (Without the quotes. Everything else must be exact.)<br>
It's quicker and better.<br>

How about if you want to restart? Will the dialog box still come out?
