Shutdown button crash while saving

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

So I want to create on my dock 3 buttons : Shutdown, Reboot, Log off

I have tried 2 Docklets : Shutdown and ExitWindows (V. 1.2) unfortunately both generate a crash while saving objectdock when it closing.
So each time I reboot or start my computer I have the follwing error message :

"Objectdock has recovered settings from previous version to a recent crash while saving, some of your most recent changes might not have saved.
Please check to make sure that all the docklets you are saving are current and not causing crashing while saving."

So if there a docklet to create the 3 buttons working properly with Objectdock plus 1.9 under windows xp sp2 ?

Thanks

Just create the shortcuts with the appropriate switch.

%SystemRoot%\System32\shutdown.exe

-l Log off
-r Restart
-s Shutdown

Do you have tested this , I don't think so.

It's worth !!

You got any confirmation message, you got an error message to reboot must wait 30second and it crash everything !!

binbin:

The method yrag has described does not generate a confirmation, it directly executes a logoff, restart, or shutdown, and you should only click the shortcut when you are indeed ready to logoff, restart, or shutdown.
If you want to get rid of the 30 second wait, add -t 00 to the Arguments field, so it would read:
-s -t 00
There is a space after the "s" and the "t".

This will not change ObjectDock "crashing" though. I would guess that you might have a docklet running that is causing a problem. Try saving your current theme, then creating a new default theme and adding a shutdown or restart shortcut. If that works, then go back to your saved theme and try to find which docklet (or more than one) is causing you a problem by removing one or more at a time and trying again. This could take time.

I am hoping that there is a language issue here and your response to yrag was not intended to be as abrasive as it seems to me.

Is there an option to switch users without just logging off? Would love to add that to
a button as well. Ty for the others.
