Why not just place 2 shortcuts on your desktop, one for Restart and one for
Shutdown.
Create a new shortcut on your desktop. Browse to
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe
Right click, go to "send to" | "desktop create shortcut"
After it has been created, rename the shortcut to Restart Computer. Then go
to the
shortcut's properties and paste "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /r /t 002"
in the target line. This will restart the computer after 2 seconds.
Create a 2nd new shortcut for shutdown.exe. After it has been created,
rename the
shortcut to Shutdown Computer.Place "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /s /t
002"
in the target line. This will shutdown the computer after 2 seconds.
In the above examples DO NOT include the quotation marks on the target line.
Now when you want to either shutdown or restart, just double click on the
appropriate icon.
