or even an icon on the desktop? I have a few customers who keep slipping
the fingers and click the wrong button. Why did MS make this so small to
begin with? In XP it is large and not so confusing either.

Hello,

you can make shortcuts on the Desktop:
Shutdown: %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe /s /t 0
Restart: %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe /r /t 0

Why not just place 2 shortcuts on the desktop, one for Restart and one for
Shutdown.

Create a new shortcut on your desktop. Browse to
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe

Right click, go to "send to" | "desktop create shortcut"

After it has been created, rename the shortcut to Restart Computer. Then go
to the
shortcut's properties and paste "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /r /t 002"
in the target line. This will restart the computer after 2 seconds.

Create a 2nd new shortcut for shutdown.exe. After it has been created,
rename the
shortcut to Shutdown Computer.Place "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /s /t
002"
in the target line. This will shutdown the computer after 2 seconds.

In the above examples DO NOT include the quotation marks on the target line.

Now when you want to either shutdown or restart, just double click on the
appropriate icon.

Rob,

I use a gadget created by the ms team that contains the 3 icons to
'Shutdown', 'restart' and 'logoff'... easy to see, hard to miss etc. Worth
checking.

how about logoff?

I tried Shutdown -l -t 00 but it will not work

the formular works for the shutdown and restart
substituting the "l" for "s" and "r"
but not for logoff

for logoff a dos box popus up with alot of code but i cannot read it and
just goes away and nothing happens.

is there one for logoff?
thanks
robin
