How do you make shortcuts to Shutdown and Restart?

I did not think you could do it on a Windows mobile device

but here is how you do it on an XP PC

Shut down - --- make a short cut and past this in the( %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 01 )

Reboot - ( %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 1 )

Make sure that the shoutdown.exe is in the system32 directory for that to work.

If you type shutdown ? into the command line you can get all the option switch details so you can do all sorts of neat tricks with the shutdown command.

Hope this helps

Yeah I've done all this for my home machine

there are WM programs that have restart and shutdown commands in them (MemMaid for instance) so it is possible

In \Windows there is PowerOffWarning.exe which you can make a shortcut to, but this pops up the 'Device will be off blah blah' warning first

What I really want are one-click shortcuts...

I have VB.Net apps to do this, just copy the files to the device and create shortcuts to them.

You may also need to install the runtimes, all can be found in my downloads section.

These are the first PPC utilities I have made, and need some work.

At the minute, they work!

Reading your post again...

The reset app will prompt.. But I can make a custom version if you wish which just does a reset, no questions asked!

That would be great!!!, cheers very muchly

[Guest MikeSel]

Ok well if that one works? (the .exe in the bin folder) I will gladly make one for you.. It's just a case of editing out a few lines :)

They're included with SBSH's iLauncher, so it must be possible to script something.

[Guest MikeSel]

Due to a site rebuild these items have moved...

If there's enough interest I will develop them more.

You can now find them in my new downloads section here

Here you go mandt, a freeware program that I just found that does what you're looking for I think.
