Do you also often have problems to shut down windows properly?
Then try this:

1) make a new short cut at your desktop

2) fill in c:\windows\rundll32.exe user, exitwindows in the execute row

3) give your short cut a name. For example shut down PC

4) doubble click the short cut, or put the short cut in the left bottom "short cut toolbar" so you only have to click one time to shut down.

[tt]Another method;

Make a shortcut on your desktop as follows;
(leave out all "s)

Shortcut Shortcut
Name; "Target" line;

SHUTDOWN "C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 1"

LOGOFF "C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 0"

REBOOT "C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 2"

Set "Start In:" line of each shortcut to "C:\WINDOWS"
