You can shut down your computer with one click. Go to your desktop, go to new and then shortcut. Where it asks for the path type in %windir%\System32\SHUTDOWN.exe -s -t 01 . You can even change the icon to the shutdown icon by going to properties and then change icon
:)
wouldn't that be two clicks for most people? : :DQuote:

hmmm, I might use that. It takes 3 clicks and a press for me. Click Start, click shutdown, click shut down again and press the power button for the monitor :)
not if you've got a 3-buttoned mouse.Quote:

I use my wheel button as 'double-click' - saves wear-and-tear on the mouse and my finger!
What !!!! ur kidding me U guys acualy shutdown ur comp and monitor
my comp is set to turn off monitor after 15 mins of no use and the only time i shut it down is to reboot when i add a updated driver or change a network connet or add software and such cant even remeber the last time i had to reboot for a crash as 98se is so stable now that they finaly got all the bugs out
it is a lot easer on ur comp if u use it every day to not shut it down ever time u do the component coll off them warm up again then u turn it on
the cycle of hot cold hot cold is vary bad for ur chips it is much better to just leve it on
be sides that way u can leve kazaa up and sharing files all the time :)
So how many processors have you fried so far??? Chips and components are obviously designed to be switched on and off as the majority of people shut down their pc every time its not in use. Besides how long are you planning to keep your current pc? if its less than 10 years or so then you don't really need to worry about shutting it down and doing damage to your chipsQuote:

if your a xp professional, you can just close without going to start and then shutdown.
Pretty Simple
Eh? B)
Two presses for me, the power button on my pc (shuts down xp properly) and the power button on my monitor. (actually I should also turn off the speakers, but I always forget that :) )
No, it's not bullshit.Quote:

I fried my last AMD processor, it melted onto the motherboard, rendering the the computer uselss. You should be very careful about how hot it is inside your pc, otherwise one day it's bound to go bang!
Yeah thats why i got win xp pro, 98 is indeed stable as HELLQuote:

Ever since XP came out I moved to it right away, haven't had a lockup in 2 weeks now.
i only shut mine down if im going to be gone for a few days. other than that i reboot about once a week.
and long dong i cant see anyone using the same computer for 10 years.
i get a new one about every 2 years.
also it doesnt hurt anything to leave it on 24/7 they are made to be left on for long periods of time.
which is exactly the point i was trying to make! :DQuote:

*shits himseslf from all the laughter*
98SE - BSOD every 2 weeks. XP Pro - BSOD once every 4-6 months. My experience. :) 500th post yes!
So, with this in mind, can you explain how servers operate for 10+ years without being switched off?? they run the same chips as normal PC's (well, some do anyway)Quote:

again, with the servers, XP is based on the NT kernal, and if configured correcly the pc will run fine and use ~64MB ram, however, the NT kernal is also desiged to assign 4GB to everything....Quote:

where does these world going too? how many clicks it takes to shut down our pc? hehe
:lol: :D
lol ummmm..... well One for me... shhh bad way tho... >> CLICK POWER BUTTON... lol... im going to break my computer like that
Some servers run for over 10 years, but most of the time they're upgraded as well.
Most businesses constantly upgrade their machines every one to three years.
Most home owners can't afford to upgrade every year, but every three years is probably done. I've got a box that's over ten years old. I don't run it, though, it's just sitting around. ;)
These aren't actually supported by printed statistics, they're just culled from my years of experience. :D
