So, I want a button on my desktop to shut down the laptop.
Any ideas? I tried making a .bat file to do it, gets in a loop. Im crappy at this sorta thing 
Any help appriciated!
Cheers
Kev

| | Me too so here's one how to, got to http://www.totalidea.com/content/index.html and get the latest 'free' version of TweakVista install and run, down the left side menu look for Visual tweaks and 3 choices should appear in the right pane, select desktop tweaks.....etc; then when that arrives near the bottom left are all the 'make shortcut to' items I use the shutdown one which I dragged to the quicklaunch toolbar, now when shutting down I just click the little red button and off she goes............isn't the close down dialogue with the drop down box a real pain ? many times I choose to shutdown only to find I had accidentally selected 'standby', hence my search for the little red button. There are also hoodles of other excellent tweaks within even the free version and I would recommend to anyone, just a word of caution to less advanced users, if you don't understand what will happen as the result of activating a particular then don't touch it, or at least until you look it up in the very adequate help file in the program, or even ask here.

| That might be ever so slightly too much. Plus my power button is so close that it takes same effort as click start and shutdown....

| all you gotta do is create a new shortcut on your desktop. When it asks you for the Location, type in "shutdown.exe -S -t 0" (without quotations). That's all there is to it in Vista anyway...I think it's the same method in XP, too.
...and for a restart button just change the -S to -r 
Oh and I'm really lazy too...all I did before I created the desktop buttons was hit the power button WITH MY TOE!!!   |
