Not Displaying Logon, Logoff, Startup and Shutdown Status Messages
To turn these off:
1.Start Regedit
2.Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system
3.If it is not already there, create a DWORD value named DisableStatusMessages
4.Give it a value of 1
To turn on, give it a value of zero “0”.
Bringing Up the Shutdown Dialog Box.
Create a new txt file somewhere on your system, open it and put in this one line:
(new ActiveXObject(“Shell.Application”)).ShutdownWindows();
1.Save and Close the file. Change the extension to js and you’ve got it.
2.You can make a shortcut to that file to make it easy to shut down your sys.
Poweroff at Shutdown.
If your computer does not turn off the power when doing a shutdown,
you may need to edit the registry. If you have all the correct BIOS and Power settings you might still need to do this.
1.Start Regedit
2.Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
3.Edit the key PowerOffActive and give it a value of 1
4.You can do the same in HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
Creating a Shutdown/Reboot Icon.
WindowsXP has a program called SHUTDOWN.EXE which allows you to easily create icons to shutdown or restart your computer.
To create a shutdown shortcut on the desktop:
1.Right click on an open area of the desktop
2.Select New / Shortcut
3.Enter in “shutdown -s -t 00” – no quotes
4.Press the Next button
5.For the name, enter in anything you like. I just use shutdown. Click on the Finish button.
For a reboot, enter “shutdown -r -t 00”
Shutdown [{-l|-s|-r|-a}] [-f] [-m [\\ComputerName]] [-t xx] [-c “message”] [-d[u][p]:xx:yy]
