Vista - Desktop sleep shortcut ?

I would like to put a desktop shortcut for sleep and restart.. which from
there I can create a keyboard shortcut (that I can do)
I have these shortcuts for xp.. can they be created in Vista..

I can help with Shutdown

Start Orb, CMD - research the built-in shutdown command
shutdown (Type)
My idea is to put the commands into vbscript / powershell or even a .bat
file


I can help with the shortcut arrows

I was asked if I could create instructions for a shortcut icon for the
Vista desktop. I found a way to do it, but it has only been tested on a
couple of PC's. I have added instructions to the webpage for a desktop
sleep icon since you asked. This has only been tested on my PC so there is
no guarantee that it will work for you.

I don't recommend using it for almost all Vista users. It is downright
dangerous. If you have any unsaved work and double click on the sleep icon
(either intentionally or accidentally), you will likely lose your changes
if during Shutdown/Hibernate you get a BSOD. I have tested this in Notepad
and my changes were lost. If you want to take the risks, I'll tell you how
to do it.

Look for the 'Creating a Desktop Sleep or Shutdown Icon in Vista' link on
my webpage.

Please note that there are two complete sets of instructions there, one for
creating a shutdown icon and one for creating a sleep icon.

Perhaps a few of you who like to test Vista would like to report back if
you found the same anomaly I found when selecting the icon from the list of
icons in the properties tab.

I can add instructions for a restart icon if you still want to do that.

Please read all instructions and warnings before you decide that this is a
good idea for you.
