Need a shortcut for rebooting my computer

Anyone know what command it is in winxp? I'll be able to assign a keypress combination for it, right?

Create a new shortcut and put this in the target box:

shutdown:
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 00

reboot:
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00

logoff:
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -l -t 00

Hmm the shortcut doesn't work with the keypress, anyone know how to make it work?

In my experience key shortcuts only work when the shortcut is on the desktop; and even then, only when the desktop is in focus.

Just put the shortcut in your taskbar, then it's just one simple click.

Put this in your registry, reboot, and to activate press "scroll lock" twice. Make sure everything is saved.

Code: Select all

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters]
"CrashOnCtrlScroll"=dword:00000001

Well that wouldn't work if you have a kvm switch.
