How to create shortcut to Shutdown, Restart, Logoff or Hibernate

In Windows you can create shortcut that will shutdown, hibernate or restart your system. This shortcut can be placed on desktop, quick launch toolbar or any other place for shortcuts.

Here is how you create it.

Creating shutdown shortcut

1. Right click on empty space on your Desktop

2. Click “New”->”Shortcut”

3. In “Type the location of the item” box type:

Create shutdown shortcut

For shutdown: shutdown.exe -s -t 0

For restart: shutdown.exe -r -t 0

For logoff: shutdown.exe -l -t 0

For hibernation: rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState Hibernate

Parameter -t 0 will execute shutdown immediately. If you change -t 0 parameter to -t 60, shutdown will occur in 60 seconds and so on.

More information about shutdown.exe parameters is available at Microsoft

4. Click “Next”

5. Enter a name for the shortcut and click “Finish”

    There is a patch available to clock the CPU to 900 Mhz.And anyway it works really smooth as it is with XP installed even with the virtual memory swapped out to the SD card.And by the way even working at the standard clock speed why would this be any different for Linux than Windows? This reminds me of a Spanish friend who once complained that the Spanish fleet got hammered at the Battle of Trafalgar because the weather was bad. I then had to point out that the weather was bad for the Royal Navy as well.

    For a typical user it seems like the power consumption at max load would not be the relevant number, since the i7 would finish a task faster than a core2duo. What I want to know is whether doing the same task costs more total energy with one chip or the other. Is that kind of ‘efficiency spec’ included in the final graph? If not, which one of these architectures is more power efficient? -Joe
