Friends, is there a way for me to put a shortcut of the shutdown and
restart button from the start menu, directly onto the desktop?
Thanks for your time and assistance, exgi
 
I use these every day. :o)

REBOOT
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00

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

Right click on the Desktop and choose New > Shortcut
Copy and paste the first line -
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00
in to the box labled "Type the location of the item:".
Click Next.
Change "Type a name for this shortcut:" from shutdonw.exe to REBOOT.
Click Finish.

Repeat same steps for the SHUTDOWN shortcut.

Looks like I got up too late this morning.
Thanks Bob.

Don't forget the shortcuts can be customized.

Right-click the shortcut | Properties |
Shortcut tab | Change Icon button |
red [o] for shutdown | green [>] for reboot or
the gold [key] | Highlight icon | OK | Apply | OK
