Shutdown Flyout

October 8, 2005 2:06:19 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Is it possible to create a flyout menu where i can choose to shutdown or restart? i've seen commands on the forums that make the windows shutdown dialog appear but i am really just looking for two separate commands to shutdown and restart. if you know them all (log off, powerdown, etc) you can list them here too.

Thanks

Here is a thread: https://www.wincustomize.com/Forums.aspx?ForumID=176&AID=82506#657768

Make a folder containing only the shortcuts to the commands you want, then set the object dock flyout to that folder.

So, create a folder, named whatever. In that folder create a new shortcut (right click->New->Shortcut) . When it asks for the location enter (include quotes).

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe" -r

Then name it Restart.

Create another new shortcut and use

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe" -s

Name it Shutdown.

Add a flyout to your dock, and point it to your new folder.

I just tested this and it works, but the shortcuts created in this manner are weird. You might try just changing a copy of one of your existing shortcuts with the text above in the Target field. Then you'll be able to change the shortcut icon, which I didn't see how with the DOS shortcuts.

hth, rr

If you have an ObjectDesktop subscription you can also use the corresponding applets that come with ControlCenter. I don't actually use ControlCenter - just installed it, saved these applets then uninstalled.

Afer that follow RR's process in #1 but instead link the shortcuts to these applets.

Been working for me for nearly a year now.
