Save your time (use short cuts for shut down, re-start etc.)

Respected Seniors and all my dear friends,

How you shut down or restart your pc or laptop?

Start

Turn off

Then the desired option

(isn't it? Yes I am sure some of us use shortcut from key boards)

But what about if you have your Restart, Shut down, Stand By Buttons on your screen? Just one click and task complete! It will help you to remove above boring process.

So, here it is how to create above buttons on your screen, I read it and tested its working properly in my win xp. Now, its your turn to try.

Click on any empty space on the desktop and click on 'New Shortcut'

 

For Shutdown enter the below code



shutdown.exe -s -t 0

 

For Restart enter the below code



shutdown.exe -r -t 0

For Log Off enter the below code



shutdown.exe -I -t 0

                For Stand by enter the below code

               %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll

 

Now click on next  and give a name to your shortcut. Then click on Finish.

But its not looking like our buttons given in start menu, Right?

So, do the following,

Right click on button,

Properties,

Change Icon,

and now choose your desirable icons. Click ok.

Create single or more buttons from above as per your convienience.

Note the -t switch, this stands for time.  -t 0 means the shutdown or reboot action will begin immediately without delay after clicking your shortcut. If you wanted to hold off the shutdown and restart for a certain length of time, for whatever reason, then just indicate the number of seconds after the -t.   i.e.  -t 30  would wait 30 seconds before shutting down or restarting.

Now, share your experiences below, waiting.

Thanks & Regards,

Abhi
