Thanks a lot, I have some XP issues that create some (unnecessary) shutdowns at times. I can hit that icon–I use the green “play” symbol– in less than a second. A lot of practice, I guess… ;-(

Thanks for the tip! I just had Windows Vista restart on me without asking permission and without giving me the option to cancel. It closed all of my open programs, some of which had unsaved changes that were lost! This will hopefully give me a tool to fight this if it ever happens again. I am still in shock that this could ever happen, and by design!

I have been using this command, as i tend to end some system process sometimes which initiates shutdown counter of one minute.

I think you should also mention the other related commands for shutdown

Thats funny, I might have come across such situations once or twice in a year but I hate wasting one sq inch in my desktop for that icon… I am more concerned about the desktop real estate cost. Anyway, nice tip…
