Follow these simple steps on how to create a Double-Click Shutdown button shortcut on your Desktop Window:

1.) Navigate to your desktop.

2.) On the desktop, right-click and go to New, then to Shortcut (in other words, create a new shortcut).

3.) You should now see a pop-up window instructing you to enter a command line path.

4.) Enter one of these as the path:

* Use this path if your operating system is Windows 95, 98, or Me:
C:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows

* Use this path if your operating system is XP:
SHUTDOWN -s -t 01

5.) Click the "Next" button.

6.) Name the shortcut and click the "Finish" button.

Now whenever you want to shut down, just double click on this shortcut icon and you're done. Also, if you want to make life better and faster, you can right-click the new shortcut icon you just made, go to Properties, and type in X (or whatever letter) in the Shortcut Key box.

Try this...download the rar file attached..then to add a shutdown button to the desktop,double click on the file Add Shutdown.reg and select yes,and to remove double click on the file add Remove Shutdown.reg ....refresh desktop to view changes..

This one has the Windows Shutdown icon..and right click on it to access other features too...and there's always the Reputation button if you like it... ;)

Do as said above, but thsi time, put this in the box:

c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -r -f -t 00 -r

this will create a 'restart' button for ur Desktop! Name the button RESTART!

Enjoy!:iphonepost:
