Task Manager, Shutdown, & Restart shortcuts

How Can I Create These On a Dock?

July 18, 2005 10:51 AM from

I am trying to create dock entries that point to the Task Manager (taskmanager.exe), shutdown windows (SHUTDOWN -s -t 01), and restart windows (SHUTDOWN -r -t 01). I enter these strings in the Link field on the Dock Entry Properties dialog box, but the dock entry doesn't work. Instead, I get:

Windows cannot find 'SHUTDOWN -r -t 01'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.

How can I configure ObjectDock so that these commands work correctly?

Task Manager = C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.exe

For Shutdown, and Restart. I link to CloseWin, which can be downloaded here... http://www.tsoftcentral.com/tools/index.html (along with a few more nifty little tools)
