Shut Down on Desktop?

Is there any way I could put icons on the Vista desktop that are linked
to shut down or restart functions?

Make batch commands:

shutdown /r and
shutdown /s

=================================
Try the following steps to create a shutdown
shortcut that will do the job with one click.

1. Right-click any empty location on
your desktop.

2. Click...New, Shortcut.

The Create Shortcut Wizard appears.

3. In the 'Type the Location of the Item' field...
type or copy/paste... shutdown -s -t 0

Next / Enter a Name for the Shortcut / Finish.

For a Restart shortcut...
type or copy/paste shutdown -r -t 0
