Shortcuts on the Desktop for Shutdown, Restart, And Logoff Icons


If you want Shutdown, Restart, And Logoff Icons On The Desktop here is the procedure to create it.

Now Right-click on the Desktop and make new shortcut by selecting New > Shortcut

Now in the Type the location of the item: box, enter "shutdown.exe -s -00 '', where ''00'' is the delay in seconds (You can increase it.)

You will then be asked to select a name (call it Shutdown, for example). After creating the shortcut, you can change the icon assigned to it by right-clicking on the shortcut and selecting Properties.

The window that comes up next has a Change Icon option, which is easy to use.

For a Restart shortcut, use "shutdown.exe -r -t 00". Replacing -r by -l gives the code for logging off: "shutdown.exe -l -t 00".

Similarly we can also make a shortcut for Standby/Hibernation If Hibernation is enabled, the computer will hibernate, else it will go into Standby For this use %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState.
