Create Icons for Shutdown and Reboot
If you find it
annoying to access the Start Menu for shutting down or rebooting the
computer, create a shutdown and reboot icon for the desktop.
Desktop Shutdown
Icon
Right click on the
desktop
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]
Add a bit of class to
the shortcut by assigning it a custom icon. Right click the
shortcut, click [Properties] and select the [Shortcut] tab. Click
[Change Icon] and select from the icons that are displayed.
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]
Add a bit of class to
the shortcut by assigning it a custom icon. Right click the
shortcut, click [Properties] and select the [Shortcut] tab. Click
[Change Icon] and select from the icons that are displayed.
A Final Note:
If
you happen to be as fanatical as I am about having nothing on the
desktop, drag the new icons into the Quick Launch area of the
Taskbar.
