How To Make A Shutdown/Hibernate Shortcut

reflux · 21-April-06, 09:03 AM

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".

OK, OK....just for you lot I've zipped the 100 or so icons I got off Wincustomize and here they are for download. There was no readme or EULA included with any of them so i presume this is ok.
