Creating a Shutdown/Reboot shortcut Icon on Windows XP
WindowsXP has a program called SHUTDOWN.EXE which allows you to easily create icons to shutdown or restart your computer.
To create a shutdown shortcut on the desktop:
- Right click on an open area of the desktop
- Select New / Shortcut
- Enter in “shutdown -s -t 00″ – no quotes
- Press the Next button
- For the name, enter in anything you like. I just use shutdown. Click on the Finish button.
For a reboot, enter “shutdown -r -t 00″
Shutdown [{-l|-s|-r|-a}] [-f] [-m [\ComputerName]] [-t xx] [-c "message"] [-d[u][p]:xx:yy]
Parameters
- -l – Logs off the current user, this is also the defualt. -m ComputerName takes precedence.
- -s – Shuts down the local computer.
- -r – Reboots after shutdown.
- -a – Aborts shutdown. Ignores other parameters, except -l and ComputerName. You can only use -a during the time-out period.
- -f – Forces running applications to close.
- -m [\ComputerName] – Specifies the computer that you want to shut down.
- -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 area of the System Shutdown window. You can use a maximum of 127 characters. You must enclose the message in quotation marks.
