To create a Quick Restart icon on your desktop, right-click on an empty spot
on your desktop, then choose New Shortcut. Where the Wizard says ``Type the
location of the item,'' type: shutdown -r -t 0 (that's a zero on the end,
and there are spaces between all the entries). Choose Next. In the box that
says ``Type a name for this shortcut,'' give it a name that you like. I
called mine ``Quick Restart''. Choose Finish.

To make a Quick Shut Down icon, follow the same instructions, but the
shortcut command should read: shutdown -s -t 0.

My question: does anyone know how to create desktop shortcuts for standby
and/or hibernate?

Bob,

The way I do it is I downloaded the free little program Wizmo.exe. To
hibernate make a shortcut which calls Wizmo hibernate. It can also be
used for shutdown (wizmo shutdown) and many other calls. Works
flawlessly. Of course this does not answer your question.

It doesn't answer my question but it certainly has the desired effects I was
looking for. Thank you. (And thanks to Ramesh for your reply)

You're welcome, Bob.
