Shutdown Flyout
Saturday, October 8, 2005 by Hydronic | Discussion: ObjectDock
Is it possible to create a flyout menu where i can choose to shutdown or restart? i've seen commands on the forums that make the windows shutdown dialog appear but i am really just looking for two separate commands to shutdown and restart. if you know them all (log off, powerdown, etc) you can list them here too.
Thanks
Thanks

If you have an ObjectDesktop subscription you can also use the corresponding applets that come with ControlCenter. I don't actually use ControlCenter - just installed it, saved these applets then uninstalled.
Afer that follow RR's process in #1 but instead link the shortcuts to these applets.
Been working for me for nearly a year now.

Make a folder containing only the shortcuts to the commands you want, then set the object dock flyout to that folder.
So, create a folder, named whatever. In that folder create a new shortcut (right click->New->Shortcut) . When it asks for the location enter (include quotes).
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe" -r
Then name it Restart.
Create another new shortcut and use
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe" -s
Name it Shutdown.
Add a flyout to your dock, and point it to your new folder.
I just tested this and it works, but the shortcuts created in this manner are weird. You might try just changing a copy of one of your existing shortcuts with the text above in the Target field. Then you'll be able to change the shortcut icon, which I didn't see how with the DOS shortcuts.
