If you have decided to install Windows 8 Developement Preview For tests, you already know that, to give Shutdown la sistem You have to "go through" a slightly longer way than the one you used to have from previous Windows systems (ie I must first click on Desktop, then let's take the mouse cursor to the left-jos corner – down everything – over the button Start to display Start Menu, we select Settings Then I click on iconita Power displayed on the left side of the screen).
Much easier it would be to add a tile cu Shutdown directly on Start screen of Windows (Start Screen).
In order to adds the shutdown tile on the start screen It is necessary to create a first Shortcut for Shutdown on the desktop. To do this, follow the instructions:
- Click-right on any empty desktop portion, then select New > Shortcut
- in the field of below Type the location of the item Give Copy/Paste to the following row:
shutdown.exe -s -t 00
- Click on Next, choose one nume pt shortcut (for example Shutdown) then click on Finish.
- Copy new shortcut created in the folder C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms (because this folder is hidden and protected by the system, first open an Windows Explorer, click on the tab View And check the option Hidden items FROM Ribbon to be able to access it) then click the button of Start To check if the shutdown tile is displayed on Start Screen.
To more easily identify shortcuts if you want to create more for various actions (such as Restart, Sleep etc.) you can personalize the shortcut newly created by modifying them ICON (Click-right on Shortcut > Properties > General tab > Change Icon > OK > Select the desired icon > again ok), but if you want to add only one tile on the start screen you can skip this step.
If, after you have followed the above instructions, Tile Shutdown is still not displayed on Start Screen, take again the mouse cursor to the left-hand corner of the button of Start, select Search FROM Start Menu, then select Apps (on the right side of the screen) and tatdown in The search field.
Click-right on Shutdown, then click on Pin in the right-handed corner.
To add Tile for Restart, Lock, Hibernate and Sleep Follow the same steps described above, only modifying the order to which each tile is answered:
- Restart: shutdown.exe -r -t 00
- Lock: rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
- Hibernate: rundll32.exe powrProf.dll,SetSuspendState
- Sleep: rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0
Note: For hibernate and sleep tiles, first make sure that these options are activated or are supported by the computer configuration (hardware).
