Where did you find that wallpaper?

[Kopolis777]

Is hibernate the same as standby?

[ekulmeekul]

nope Hibernate stores all setting on the HDD and then kinda does a standby but only it doesnt keep the memory powered then when u switch it back on it pulles all those setting from the HDD again Standby just turnes off the screen and HDD and stuff but keeps the power flowing through the bus ans stuff

[Kopolis777]

oh ok.

Every time I type in the shut down command I am told the computer can not find it. shutdown.exe-s-t60-c"Shutdown Started"

[ekulmeekul]

its called the spacebar! shutdown.exe -s -t 60 -c "Shutdown Started"is what it should look like.

[ekulmeekul]

i LOVE the lock function I'm sick of having to close everything and log off every time i don't want my computer used it also looks cool(i don't use the welcome screen)

[whitish]

what does lock do? i have heard of it before but i have never actually done it. how do you get out of it? and i have never heard of abort before what the heck is that?

[lopez8675]

for the most part lock does what it says, it locks your computer so no one else can get on, at least thats what its supposed to do

[puffyfluff]

Abort cancels the shutdown.

[mgy93]

the lock does the same thing as clicking Switch User it simply brings u back to the login page were u can select what user you want to go on. to get out of it simply login with ur password again.

[whitish]

thx

[berky93]

this is great! good instructable, easy to use, useful for...um, stuff. >:)

[Hachiman]

Nicely done! Very straightforward and easy to follow instructions. thanks, 'cause I've been wanting one of these shortcuts for a while now.

[mgy93]

first of all, you can use notepad for this....second of all kneecaps instructable was labeled fake shutdown virus. this instructable has shutdown,lock,restart,and logoff commands... not just shutdown!!!! and if u just try it_{, u will realize lock is the same as switch user},and abort cancels the shutdown or restart procedure

[Trav-i]

Hey how can u send this it says its and executable file and cannot be sent

[Thundertydus]

dont use notepad

[pyroman22]

oh and you copied Kneecaps instructable code for the shutdown one

[pyroman22]

what does the abort command do?

[Trav-i]

if someone know the answer to my question email me at [e-mail]

[mgy93]

how do u figure?

[kneecaps]

dude u coppied my instructable

[mgy93]

i could save time by double clicking in the same spot

[Punkguyta]

Now tell me.. what is it that makes you unable to make 2 extra clicks and shut down from the start menu????

The tutorial may work great if you don't own a Dell computer or maybe even an HP, Gateway...etc. For my dell I needed to use the following: SHUTDOWN: C:\i386\shutdown.exe -s -t 60 -c "Shutdown Started" (ICON located in shell32.dll) RESTART: C:\i386\shutdown.exe -r -t 5 -c "Restarting" HIBERNATE: C:\i386\shutdown.exe -h -t 5 -c "Restarting" STANDBY: C:\i386\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0 (ICON located in msgina.dll) Also, here is a list of the command syntax for shutdown.exe Syntax shutdown [{-l|-s|-r|-a}] [-f] [-m [\\ComputerName]] [-t xx] [-c "message"] [-d[u][p]:xx:yy] Top of pageTop of page Parameters -l : Logs off the current user, this is also the defualt. -m ComputerName takes precedence. -s : Shuts down the local computer. -r : Reboots after shutdown. -a : Aborts shutdown. Ignores other parameters, except -l and ComputerName. You can only use -a during the time-out period. -f : Forces running applications to close. -m [\\ComputerName] : Specifies the computer that you want to shut down. -t xx : Sets the timer for system shutdown in xx seconds. The default is 20 seconds. -c "message" : Specifies a message to be displayed in the Message area of the System Shutdown window. You can use a maximum of 127 characters. You must enclose the message in quotation marks. -d [u][p]:xx:yy : Lists the reason code for the shutdown. The following table lists the different values.

anyone know what the text is just to log out??

[tipsychimp]

nvm it's just windows + l cuz i looked on the other instructable and they had it

[ll.13]

Is that really what Vista looks like? and paying £150+ for it? You can get better eye candy for free.

[ll.13]

Oh, plus all those stupid annoying things to the right. (;

Mac keyboard shortcuts:

Note: For keyboards lacking the Eject key, use F12.

Shutdown: Command-Option-Control-Eject
Sleep: Command-Option-Eject
Restart: Command-Control-Eject
Logout: Command-Shift-Q
