WindowsXP has a program called SHUTDOWN.EXE which allows you to easily create icons to shutdown or restart your computer.In case you find it irritating to access the Start Menu in order to shut down or reboot the computer, you have to create a shutdown and reboot icon for the desktop.
To create a shutdown Icon:-
Right click on an open area of the desktop
Select New / Shortcut
Enter in "shutdown -s -t 00" - no quotes
Press the Next button
For the name, enter in anything you like. I just use shutdown. Click on the Finish button. Thats it..
To create icon for reboot: enter "shutdown -r -t 00"
To create icon for Logoff: enter "shutdown -l -t 00"
