shutdown, log off, restart pngs
Friday, May 8, 2009 by JimGalvin | Discussion: ObjectDock
i have a program (karen's ptstopper-setup-new.exe) to create shortcuts for shutdown, log off, and restart. But, when I try to change the png in my dock it changes all 3 of the pngs. If anyone has any ideas how to keep all 3 of the pngs from changing or a different program to use to create the shut down, restart and log off programs please let me know.

the png on the dock is going to the program itself - not the separate functions

Is it possible to stack the shutdown, restart, and logoff icons, using stack docklet 2.0 ?
If so, how?

Applies to XPHome, don't know about XPPro or Vista:
No need for a program. Be warned, this technique directly executes the Shutdown, Restart, or Logoff without generating a confirmation message. So, don't click on them until you're prepared for them to execute.
Create 3 shortcuts, 1 each for Shutdown, Restart, and Logoff.
Shutdown:
Link: C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe
Arguments: -s -t 00 (-t 00 sets the time delay to zero seconds, default is I think 30 seconds, you can put some seconds in there if you like but it's pretty useless. Note the space after s and t.)
Run: Minimized (gets rid of an annoying dos window popping up briefly)
Restart:
Link: C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe
Arguments: -r -t 00 (-t 00 sets the time delay to zero seconds, default is I think 30 seconds, you can put some seconds in therre if you like but it's pretty useless. Note the space after r and t.)
Run: Minimized (gets rid of an annoying dos window popping up briefly)
Logoff:
Link: C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe
Arguments: -l (You have probably figured out that's a lowercase "L", not the number 1. Don't think the time delay parameter works for logoff, try it if you like.)
Run: Minimized (gets rid of an annoying dos window popping up briefly)
