Restarting Problem

If the computer is restarting without any warning or clue, it may be because of hardware or software failure. There is an option in system ,which will make system restart in the case of these type of failures. We can solve this by changing that option.

Solution:

XP Users : Right click My computer >> Properties >> Advanced >> Startup and Recovery >> settings >> unmark the “Automatically restart option” >> ok >> ok.

Vista Users : Right click My computer >> Properties >> Advanced System settings >> Startup and Recovery >> settings >> unmark the “Automatically restart option” >> ok >> ok.

Create a shortcut to shutdown (or restart, standby...)

We can create shortcuts on desktop to shutdown our system.

To shutdown:
Right click on desktop >> new >> shortcut >> Type the location of item as " shutdown /s " >> give a name for the shortcut (eg: shutdown) >> finish.
Now there is a new shortcut in desktop.by cliking on it we can shutdown our computer.

(If you want you can modify the icon as>> right click the new icon >> properties >> shortcut >> change icon - selct an icon from the list >> ok >> finish )

we can also create shortcuts for restarting , logoff ... all these can do the same way as the above. just change the command "Shutdown /s" with other commands. they are listed below

To restart : shutdown /r
To logoff : shutdown /l
To show a message before shutdown : shutdown /s /c message

To set the time before shutdown : shutdown /s /t 60 (In vista u can set seconds upto 600 and in XP it's maximum is 9999999)
