Guest Steve T Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Used to have a shortcut in the bottom left area of the Welcome Screen to turn off the computer. Now I have to login, click Start and then select Turn Off Computer. How do I get the turn off option back at the Welcome Screen? Thanks, Steve T.

Guest BinaryConverted Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 RE: lost "Turn off computer" shortcut Hello Steve. I have studied most of the MS-DOS commands, and I know how they can help you. 1. On the computer with the lost shortcut, open Notepad by going to Start > Run and then type in 'notepad'. 2. In notepad, type in the following code: ---------------- @echo off echo Shutting down the computer... shutdown -s ---------------- This creates a command to shutdown the computer. 3. Save the file to a convenient location on your computer. (Such as the desktop.) 4. To test it, save all work, close all programs and open the file. If you can shut down the computer (not just log off) then it is working. However, a minor adjustment can create a restart command, or tell the computer to log off. Here are the variations: shutdown... -I Display GUI interface, must be the first option. -L Log off (cannot be used with -m option) -S Shutdown the computer. -R Shutdown and restart the computer. -A Abort a system shutdown -T XX Set timeout for shutdown to XX seconds -C "comment" Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters) -F Forces running applications to close with warning. Hope this can help with some problems. John. -- Forums - Aren''t they wonderful? "Steve T" wrote: > Used to have a shortcut in the bottom left area of the Welcome Screen to > turn off the computer.
