You can make a shortcut for shutdown/restart on your desktop.Originally posted by ultimatejester@17 June 2003 - 19:52
i use a normal shutdown, can anybody tell me how 2 shutdown using run command
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. Click on the Finish button.
For a reboot, enter "shutdown -r -t 00"
Syntax:
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.
EDIT: Here is how you shutdown from run:
Run > shutdown -s -t 00
So basically type the commands i gave you above for a shortcut in run and it will shutdown. It works for restart as well as logoff as described above.
To specify timer for shutdown:
Run > shutdown -s -t 00
shutsdown in 00 seconds. As given in the parameter section you can increase the timer it takes to shutdown. Make a shortcut if you want to this instead of remembering the whole command. Although its pretty small.
Hope this helps.
