Shutdown is a convenient program for Windows 95/98/ME NT4/2000
and XP, one that makes it easy to shutdown your computer with a simple
double click (I am too lazy to go fishing under my desk for the power
button). When running Shutdown appears as an Icon down by the clock:
Right clicking on this icon shows this menu:
From here Shutdown can be configured, the four lower
options -
-
Shutdown (Atx)
++
and automatically switch power off
-
Shutdown and display 'Now Safe to Switch
off Screen'
-
Hibernate ++
writes all computer memory to disk and switches off,
enabling a quick restart,
-
Suspend ++
sets computer to a low power, instant start state (power to
computer must be left on)
-
Restart computer and re-boot,
-
Log Off active user.
++ Must be
supported by computer (such as Atx)
Left Double Click sets which action should be
taken if Shutdowns Tray icon is double-clicked with the left mouse
button.
Only Windows XP users will see high colour icons down by the
clock. Shutdown is freeware and can be passed on freely provided it is
kept within its original install.
