Sleep, Hib or Shutdown

[mxh]

Is there anyway to create a shortcut that could be clicked or hotkeyed (w/o
3rd party app) in Vista?

Thanks,

a Google search yields,
mictamcody2000 of bleepingcomputer.com supplying these magic words, for use
in shortcuts

shuts it down then restarts it...

CODE%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -r -t 5

this one just shuts it down...

CODE%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 10

ive also learned to make a cancel one just incase i accidentally click the
shutdown one

heres the one for the cancellation...

CODE%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -a

here are two for logoff

CODE%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -l

or you can also use

CODE%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -f

If you turn off Hybrid sleep mode then you get sleep, hibernate and
shutdown: http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/3695/sleephibernateqg5.jpg

1. Control Panel
2. Power Options
3. Change Plan Settings
4. Change Advanced power settings (dialog box pops open)
5. Sleep
6. Allow Hybrid Sleep = OFF, Click APPLY and OK.
