Jimmerz28 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I know I saw a thread on it earlier, but I don't think it got any responces that answered the call. I was wondering if anyone had seen a good docklet to shutdown windows with for Object Dock? I had one, but it got deleted when I stupidly uninstalled and deleted the folder. Anywho, it really wasn't a docklet essentially, what it was was a program that you linked a shortcut to and in the argument you gave -s for shutdown, -r for reboot, -l for logging off and so on. I know you can link shortcuts to shutdown.exe in system32, but it doesn't work for me when I do it. So I was just wondering if anyone had any such program like I mentioned. I'm pretty sure I found it on WinCustomize...but I'm not sure, cause I can't find it. Thanks in advance :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmerz28 Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 Here's the docklet on wincostomize.ShutdownDocklet Thx Gumpster, but I tried this one out awhile ago and I didn't like it, it had some bugs for some reason and wouldn't shut down unless I did a force shutdown. So I went looking for another one, I was just wondering if anyone else had found it. Thanks though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
configure Veteran Posted December 8, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2003 I don't see a reason why "c:\windows\system32\shutdown -h" wouldn't work. Try it again, use /h to list the arguments. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmerz28 Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 Mkay I did use it as you said. I used /h and -h in the arguments and still nothing. Here's an image of what I have, I'm sure its just something stupid I'm doing wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamz Veteran Posted December 8, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2003 you don't need a docklet for this. just create shortcut icons. right click on desktop click new >shortcut type "shutdown -s -t 00" without the quotation marks click next and type a name click finish the switch -s means shutdown, and the switch -t means the time delay of 00 seconds. you can change -s to -r to get a reboot shortcut, and change 00 to something else for some more time. (this is basically what configure is saying.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamz Veteran Posted December 8, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2003 no problem. :) i find this method is better than actually having docklets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmerz28 Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 True. The only little problem I have with it is when I shutdown, a command promt window pops up and then instantly goes away, but its just something that annoys me lol. I'm picky about things like that I guess :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
