ptcman I use the Exit Windows Docklet... Shutdown, power off, restart, log off, lock the workstation/switch user, suspend or hibernate the machine with this little docklet
WWW LinkDownload & install this into
C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Docklets. Then rightclick in a blank area on you dock & add the docklet. Then Rightclick on the docklet & choose properties to customize, & test out the Glow feature. I have the Shutdown, Hibernate & Restart docklets on 1 dock and I have check marked request confirmation just to ensure I don't accidentally shutdown or restart.

I also have that dock set to.. Keep on Bottom & mouseover disabled.
