Shut Down Shortcut

[mattpg1]

I want to create a short cut to shut down with on the desktop without using one of those one touch shut down programs. Could someone tell me what string to enter in the Location box.

Thanks

Hi mattpg1. This works for Win9x so it should work for ME. Run a search for rundll.exe and when you find it, make a shortcut to it on your Desktop. Next, rightclick the shortcut and choose Properties. In the Target Box, add the following text after the text that is already there but leave a space before you type: user.exe,exitwindows and the click OK. It should look like this C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindows

When you want to shutdown, doubleclick the icon.

You can also make a quick restart if you want to. To do this, create another shortcut and follow the steps above but this time type user.exe,exitwindowsexec after the text that is there. It should look like this C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindowsexec

I am glad that my reply has your approval The Dude. :)

The Dude, yours worked. AnnMarie, Yours didn't. The hour glass flashed quickly a few times, then nothing.

Oh well. Mission accomplished.
