small program to restart pc

[Dell]

Are you using WinXP home or Pro? If so, then you already have the software
you need - from "WOODY's WINDOWS XP" web site at:
http://www.woodyswatch.com/winxp/archtemplate.asp?3-n05
----------------------
Right-click on an empty spot on your desktop
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. Personally, I call it "Quick Restart". Choose Finish.
Right-click on the new shortcut and choose Properties. Click the Change Icon
button and change the icon to something that'll be hard to miss. You don't
want to accidentally click this icon.
To test the icon, make sure no programs are running, then double-click on
it.
To make a Quick Shut Down icon, follow the same instructions, but the
shortcut command should read:
shutdown -s -t 0
----------------------
The zero on the end is the # of seconds you want to wait between invoking
the icon & the actual restart or shutdown. If you want only want to log off,
then you can substitute:
shutdown -l -t 0

Hi, Ron.

Please fix your computer date. You are a day or so ahead of the rest of us.
And, unless you are somewhere between Australia and Vladivostok, your time
zone is set wrong.

Hi, David.

I'M in the US Central Standard Time zone, which is GMT -0600. From my first
post, the header says:
Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2004 10:45:47 -0600

You are in Australia, right? Your header says:
Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2004 04:08:50 +1100

But, from his first post, the header says:
Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2004 18:27:30 +1000

So, if he's really here in CST, his computer time zone is off by 16 hours.

Would anyone know where this little program can be found ? I used to have
it. It allows you to restart your pc without having to go to start/turn off
computer .....

Thanks
Ron
