Add Quick Shutdown & Restart Button to windows 8!

Recommended: 8 Good reasons to Upgrade to Windows 8

So finally, the most waited Windows OS  i.e. Windows 8 has been launched yesterday. Thousands of people downloaded windows 8, and even before tons of people were using some of the available previews. The major problem that most of the people face with Windows 8 is the absence of shutdown and restart shortcuts. Presently the user has to open the settings from the charm and had to click on POWER button and then shutdown/restart. This is quite a lengthy process as compared to previous Windows OS versions.

What I think is that why always the Windows developer fail to categorize the Shutdown Button at right place. In previous versions of Windows OS the Shutdown Button was placed inside the Start Button, that makes no sense. If User wishes to shutdown(leave) the Computer then why he/she would go to the Start Button. And now in Windows 8 also I didn't found any sense placing Shutdown Controls inside Settings Panel. I never categorize shutdown option as a Setting.

Whatever be the thinking behind the Shutdown Button, I want my Shutdown Button to be quickly accessed by me. If you are also willing to access Shutdown Button quickly then here's a very easy article on bringing your Shutdown Button back. Just follow the following screenshots:

1. Right click on Desktop, select New, select Create Shortcut.

2.  A dialog box will appear. Type following lines for corresponding Button:

Shutdown Button:	shutdown /s /t 3
Restart Button:	shutdown /r /t 3

3. Name the Shortcut on the Next window and click on Finish button.

4. By default it has no icon. You can give it an icon image by clicking on Choose Icon button in Properties of the shortcut.
5. At last, right click on the each shortcuts and click on PIN TO START option.

6. Arrange your Shutdown & Restart tiles according to your convenience, and you are done!
