Wheres the Shutdown prog?

[Mo_Moosa]

I want to make a shortcut on my desktop to shutdown the PC. First I need to find it. Where is it? I'm guessing in the file "WINDOWS"...

Also, where is the restart and Log off prog? And the Ejet CD prog? Thanks.

Shortcut to shutdown:

Right click on your desktop, go to "New", then to "Shortcut". Left click on "Shortcut".

In the command line box enter: c:\windows\rundll32.exe user.exe,exitwindows (note: the only space should be between exe and user) Click next.

Type in a name, "Off" or "Shutdown" or something similar then click finish.

After you create this shortcut on your desktop you simply double click on it to shutdown your computer.

Thanks but it says there's no rundll32.exe ...

Sorry, for XP enter "SHUTDOWN -s -t 01."


Right-click on the Desktop and choose New | Shortcut from the pop-up menu. Browse to the file C:\Windows\ System32\Shutdown.exe, click Next, name the shortcut, and click Finish. Now right-click on the new shortcut and choose Properties. In the Target box, append the command line switch -l (to log off), -s (to shut down), or -r (to reboot).

If you also add the switch –t xx (where xx is a number of seconds), Shutdown.exe will display a warning and count down the specified number of seconds before activating. You can specify a comment to be displayed with the warning by adding the switch -c "Your text".
