This if for all of you who can't be bothered to reach for the start menu and would like to put a Shut Down or Hibernate shortcut on your desktop/in objectdock/the quick launch bar. It's pretty simple and will take about 10 seconds....

For shut down, firstly open Notepad and type "shutdown.exe -s -t 00" without quotes. Then save it as "shutdown.bat". Double click and see what happens...

For hibernate, open Notepad and type

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate"

without quotes. Then save it as "hibernate.bat" and see what happens when you click it...

Anyway, hope some of you find this useful. You can also make a shortcut to log off. To see how to do this and how to set different perameters for the shut down switch, open Command Prompt and type "shutdown.exe".
