Desktop Buttons for Restart and Shutdown

[SidBord]

On my Win 98 machine, I have created two icons on my
desktop to start the Shutdown and Restart procedures. I
would like to create similar icons under Win XP, but don't
know how.
Under Win 98, I wrote a "bat" file for Restart that had one
item in it: "@EXIT". For the Shutdown function I created
a shortcut with the path:
"C:\Windows\Rundll.exe\ User,Exitwindows".
Is there something similar I can write for Win XP??

Hi,

You can create shortcuts with the following commands:

For Shutdwn:

%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00

For restart:

%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00
