How To Create Shutdown, Restart, Log Off, Suspend and More Shortcuts on Windows Desktop

By

We all use shortcuts today to do our tasks quickly. Generally to Shutdown/Log off/Hibernate/Restart, we use Start menu to access these option or we use keyboard shortcut Alt+F4 to open menu for these options. 

The other way is to create shortcuts of these options on desktop or wherever you want so you can use them by just double clicking on it!! You can also assign an icon to them.

Here i will show you how to create a shortcut of these options and how to change their icons. I am taking example of shutdown.

Steps:
  • Right click on desktop and go to New>>Shortcut.
  • In the Create Shortcut Setup Wizard, copy the code given below(without quotes) in the box. (Here "00" is timer in seconds as time system will shutdown after the given time. you can change if you want)
"Shutdown -s -t 00"
  • Click Next. In next wizard, Give a name to shortcut whatever you want. I am giving name Shortcut as its shortcut for shutdown.
  • Click on Finish. Your shortcut is created. Now, you can set a icon to it.
  • To set icon, right click on that shortcut and go to properties. In properties wizard, go to change icon and select a icon for your shortcut and click OK.
Other Codes : 
Copy it without quotes
  • Restart :  "Shutdown -r -t 00"
  • Log Off : "Shutdown.exe -L"
  • Hibernate/Suspend : "rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState"
  • Lock : "rundll32.exe user32.dll LockWorkStation" 
  • Enable Firewall : "netsh.exe firewall set opmode enable"
  • Disable Firewall : "netsh.exe firewall set opmode disable"
