I downloaded the icons listed in the topic title and I would like to use them on my desktop. Basically my qustion is what do I link to so that they will function accordingly?

You set each one to execute the following:
%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe
Then use a modifier switch at the end from one of these:
-r Restarts
-l Logoff
-s Shutdown
So an example of a shutdown icon command would be:
%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s
%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe
Then use a modifier switch at the end from one of these:
-r Restarts
-l Logoff
-s Shutdown
So an example of a shutdown icon command would be:
%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s

That's if you're using XP, I should add. Older versions use a slightly different mthod.

That's for the icon, but I think it would work for Object Dock items too.

Alright, I'm having a little bit more trouble then I thought I would be. I understand what I need to set the Icons up as, but I'm not sure how to do it. I figured you would be able to just change the target info, but For just a standard Icon I put on my desktop, it doesn't give me that option. Sorry to be a pain, anyone know where it is I have to set up the command to link the Icons to?

You just add a new shortcut to the desktop and in the location box just put the command, and it should work.
