Where are the Shut-Down, Log-Off & Restart Buttons in Windows 8....

Windows 8 is the new operating system from Microsoft, which has great look in graphical wise. For the common public who had used the previous versions such as Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, etc are facing problems with Windows8 in areas such as ShutDown, Log-Off & Restart, even though windows provides a new way to by pointing in the settings button in the bottom-right corner , instead of doing this we can create these buttons & add them to the start screen along with other buttons. The process is simple, follow the steps below & enjoy...

1) Open notepad first
2) Copy & Paste the code below to the notepad

set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”) strStartMenu = WshShell.SpecialFolders(“StartMenu”) set oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strStartMenu & “\Shutdown.lnk”) oShellLink.TargetPath = “%systemroot%\System32\shutdown.exe” oShellLink.Arguments = “-s -t 0″ oShellLink.WindowStyle = 1 oShellLink.IconLocation = “%systemroot%\System32\shell32.dll,27″ oShellLink.Description = “Shutdown Computer (Power Off)” oShellLink.WorkingDirectory = “%systemroot%\System32\” oShellLink.Save Set oShellLink = Nothing set oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strStartMenu & “\Log Off.lnk”) oShellLink.TargetPath = “%systemroot%\System32\shutdown.exe” oShellLink.Arguments = “-l” oShellLink.WindowStyle = 1 oShellLink.IconLocation = “%systemroot%\System32\shell32.dll,44″ oShellLink.Description = “Log Off (Switch User)” oShellLink.WorkingDirectory = “%systemroot%\System32\” oShellLink.Save Set oShellLink = Nothing set oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strStartMenu & “\Restart.lnk”) oShellLink.TargetPath = “%systemroot%\System32\shutdown.exe” oShellLink.Arguments = “-r -t 0″ oShellLink.WindowStyle = 1 oShellLink.IconLocation = “%systemroot%\System32\shell32.dll,176″ oShellLink.Description = “Restart Computer (Reboot)” oShellLink.WorkingDirectory = “%systemroot%\System32\” oShellLink.Save Set oShellLink = Nothing Wscript.Echo “Created Shutdown, Restart and Log Off buttons” – See more at: http://www.alltechbuzz.net/2012/12/add-shutdown-reboot-buttons-windows-8.html#sthash.TzcWvIuR.dpuf


3) Go to the file menu, go to the Save As option and save it as Shutdown.vbs in the file name (.vbs) is must don’t forget to write it, and in the place of  save as type select All Files(*.*)



4) Run the file once by switching to the location where the file is saved. For a second the file will appear and then will disappear automatically.

5) Finally you have to switch to Voilla and Start Screen. Now you will see that there are automatically pinned Tiles of Shutdown, Log Off and Restart. By following this method you can now Shutdown or Restart your computer by one clicks only.





Finally it is viewed as follows
