How to setup restart button or shortcut on desktop

1. Create a shortcut (Right-click on desktop, select New => Shortcut).

2. For location, type the following:

shutdown -r -t 0

3. Click Next, enter a name for the shortcut ("Restart" is appropriate)

4. Click Finish.

When you click your Restart shortcut, Windows XP will reboot automatically.

The "-r" switch tells XP to reboot.
If you'd like the shortcut to shut off your PC instead, change it to "-s".
To simply log off, change it to "-l".

The "-t 0" sets the timeout (in seconds), so up this value if you find the need for it. To force running applications to close, add "-f" -- be careful with this one.
