Shut Down Display

I am trying to find a way to bring up the shutdown image, (StandBy, Turn Off, Restart) the reason for this is I wish to program a button on my keyboard to display this so I have a choice. I have looked at the Shutdown command (system32/shutdown.exe) but this is not what I require also I am not interested in 3rd party applications.

I am using XP Home SP1 any suggestions would be helpful (even if it is not possible)

Hi, If you press Alt+F4 you will have that choice. Then use the right and left arrows to choose.when it is highlighted, press enter.HTH

When I pressed Alt-F4 I went straight to my desktop. Every open window closed.

%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 0

That's my "kill" switch on QL

%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 0

That's my restart in QL

Alt+f4 is the keyboard combo to close the window you're currently viewing. If you don't release it right away it'll continue to close windows until there aren't anymore open ones left. When you don't have any windows open it should bring up the shutdown screen.

 

Thanks for the explanation, Zander. I have never seen windows close so quickly! Now I understand.

Good tip, Mickzer,thanks for sharing.
