"turn off computer" & "Start Menu"
Sunday, September 18, 2005 by q1w2e3r4t5y | Discussion: ObjectDock
how do i get the "turn off computer" from the original XP start menu, on my the ObjectDock? (so i click on a shortcut to open the "Stand by/Turn Off/Restart" box)
& Is there anyway i can have a shortcut to a different style start menu, instead of a folder? I recently changed it to a dropdown box, but has now gone back to the folder and dont know how to put back!
Thanks

Sorry,
Free version is a bit different.
You should be able to go to Dock Settings > Create menu > New 'Start Menu' Entry.

I realize that this thread is about 3yrs old but it is how I found the answer to a similar question. There are a couple great suggestions here for adding a start menu shortcut(which is no longer an issue with the newer versions of objectdock), however I don't think anyone hit the nail on the head with the "Power Button" issue. Lantec is super close. This link that he posted will direct you to a page with some neat little tools. One of them is called "CloseWin v1.0". Download this & place it anywhere then simply drag & drop into ObjectDock for a shortcut to the "turn off computer" dialog box. **Note** This program does not claim to be Vista compatible. I run XP so am unsure.

See this thread for instructions on creating a dock entry that will invoke the Windows XP shut-down dialog https://www.wincustomize.com/Forums.aspx?ForumID=176&AID=82506#657768
For the start menu:
Right-click dock > Add > New 'Start Menu' Entry.
