Shut down your computer on double click -Tweaks

On 23 December, 2006 by Carol

Update :

reboot hibernate shutdown Shut down your computer on double click Tweaks

If your shortcut isn’t working, then try using this :

For shutdown : %SystemRoot%\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 09

(you can set the timer -o9- to less, but i reccomend that you leave it on 09)

For Reboot : %SystemRoot%\system32\shutdown.exe -r

For StandyBy or Hibernation :

%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState

Here is a cool trick which makes it easier to shut down your computer without having to go to Start and then shutdown.

Right click on your desktop and when the pop up menu appears, choose New, then Shortcut.

When the shortcut pop up appears type in : SHUTDOWN -s -t 01 and click Next and type a name. I called it Shutdown Computer.

You’re done.

Now all you have to do is to give this shortcut an icon.

Right click on the new created shortcut and go to Properties and then Change Icon. You should be able to pick up any icon you want but it is best to pick up the shutdown icon.

That’s it!

Enjoy it!

Fow what ever reason I can not get this to work for me. The shortcut
contains “C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -r (or -s) -t01

I couldn’t get the instruction to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You can do that with one of the Sysinternals Suite’s app Psshutdown.exe
You make few shortcuts with it and other things.
Here’s the direct link to the Suit.

In the Suit, look firts to the help file called Sysinternals Pstools and then look for the commands for Psshutdown.

Karel, i barely use the shortcuts because i like better the clicks.

Ashock, the truth is i thought of that, but if the icon is distinctive between the others and positioned away from the icons you usually click on, then it shouldn’t be a problem.

Ajay, you can do whatever you wish with it.

Cool tip, but it always better to have long process of shutdown, what if we accidently clicked on icon.

You can also add a keybind to that shortcut. It’s one click better than Alt+F4.

I tested it and it works.
As an alternative, one could look into System 32 for the shortcuts for Shutdown, Log off,Restart and send them to the Desktop.

I did that with the Log off but i can’t seem to find the restart Shortcut.

Thanks for the Apple tip.

That’s a neat trick! I’ll have to remember that on my workplace’s computers.

In case anyone wants to know, Apple’s shutdown shortcut is control+option+command+eject. Shutdown without so much as an “are you sure” query.
