    Is there any app available which will allow me to install a one click sleep/shutdown in the Taskbar? I find the default way of switching off a bit ham-fisted?

    Many thanks in advance for any help.

    Weird that they would use shutdown.exe for Shut down, Restart & Log off, but then use other stuff for Sleep or Hibernate and Lock.


    Code:
    Shut down 			[B]shutdown.exe /s /t 0[/B]
    Restart				[B]shutdown.exe /r /t 0[/B]
    Hibernate	 		[B]shutdown.exe /h /t 0[/B]
    Shutdown + Fast startup*	[B]shutdown.exe /hybrid /t 0[/B]
    /t xxx Set the timeout period before shutdown in xxx seconds

    Fast Startup is the default when choosing the Shutdown option from the Windows 8 GUI. Fast Startup is a hybrid of traditional cold boot and resuming from hibernate. The OS closes the user sessions, but instead of closing the kernel session, it is hibernated.
