Stacking logoff, shutdown, restart, lock computer

from Stardock Forums

I would love to stack logoff, restart, shutdown, lock, switch user etc on my ObjectDock. I run Vista Home Premium. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe a folder with shortcuts to the appropriate Windows executable? I'm new at this, and I cant get enough. Sort of addicting, really}:)

you can make shortcuts and use parameters

 

shutdown -s

shutdown -r

shutdown -n (not sure here)

You can lock the screen by making a shortcut with:

 rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation

When you say stack do you mean like a Mac-like stack?  See this post, particularly reply number 2 which will give you a link to a docklet that replicates the Mac Stack.  Then put those shortcuts in a stack.

Thank you so much, though I actually have the docklet. What I really need is precisly where on a Vista machine I need to point my shortcuts. Dewie, Thanks for the Lock the screen shortcut. I guess what I really am trying to do is replicate the functionality of the bottom right Start Menu power function commands...wrapped up nicely in a macstack....with fries on the side. Shortcuts, anybody? :rolleyes:
