Create Shut down/Restart/Log off shortcut in Windows XP
Windows XP has a program called Shutdown.exe that lets you easily create icons to shutdown or restart the computer.
To create a shortcut to the shutdown:
Right-click an empty area of the desktop
Select New / Shortcut
Enter in "shutdown -s -t 00" - no quotes (For Shut Down)
Click the Next button
For the name, type in whatever you want. Just use the shutdown. Click the Finish button.
To restart the system, type "shutdown -r -t 00"
For log off, type "shutdown -l -t 00"
Shutdown [{-l |-s |-r |-a}] [-f] [-m [\ \ computer]] [-t xx] [-c "message"] [-d [u] [p] : xx: yy]
Parameters
-L - Logs off the current user, this is also the defualt. -M computer name has priority.
-S - Turn off the local computer.
-R - Restart after shutdown.
-A - Aborts shutdown. Ignores other parameters, except-l and ComputerName. Can only be used during the period, a timeout.
-F - Forces running applications to close.
-M [\ \ computer] - Specifies the computer that you want to stop.
-T xx - Sets the timer for system shutdown in xx seconds. The default is 20 seconds.
-C "message" - Specifies a message to be displayed in the Message window closing system. You can use a maximum of 127 characters. You must enclose the message in quotes.
(You can try this trick in any next version of Windows. It may work but not so sure.)
