Shutdown or Restart Windows without bickering

I apologize for not recognizing this asshole as the idiot
who said "I've finally added icons to my shutdown shortcuts."

Thanks for the last word, idiot!
Freaking idiot giving someone permission to have the last word
on USENET...

Shortcuts are icons, plus a name.

A shortcut is a *pointer* to a file, folder, web page, etc. A
shortcut is represented (usually on the desktop) by an icon
with a name, but the icon and name are not the shortcut
itself.

The user added icons to "*pointers* to a file"?

It's as 1st stated: they're actually 'lnk' files; containg a
pointer to an icon and an executable. Aren't we being precise?

Nobody cares what they are. That has nothing to do with the statement
I replied to "I've finally added icons to my shutdown shortcuts."

The poster is not talking about pointers, he is talking about the item
called a "shortcut" that is visible on his screen.


That was me; but you can have the last word, if it pleases you.

I know this troll is faking it. Even the actually brain-dead

No, you freaking idiot, we are talking about the shortcut
as it appears on the screen, as an icon with a name.

This idiot thinks the subject is shortcut properties...

To be precise, he (John Kerr-Mudd) probably didn't *add* icons, but
*replaced* whatever icon there were with more appropriate ones [1].

Anyway, if you're objecting to Ken's "*pointers* to a file", that's a
more correct description of a shortcut than your "Shortcuts are icons,
plus a name.".

[1] AFAIK, it's not possible to create a shortcut which does not have an
icon associated with it. I.e. you can change the icon, but not add (or
delete) it.

Shutdown or Restart Windows without bickering

Is there a way to call unconditionally for a quick Windows restart?

When I do Restart or Shutdown, it takes a while, sometimes quite a
while, and then gives a list of programs that aren't ready to be stopped
yet, and asks me if I want to stop anyhow, or Cancel and go back and do
something.

I've had a PC for a long time, and I never leave a edited file unsaved.
In addition on the list are programs that don't save anything like Task
Manager, USB Saftety Remove, RadioMaximius, adn maybe one could count
Firefox.

If I know I'm going to chooose Stop anyhow, is there a way to say that
in advance, so I don't have to wait until the list shows up.

So I can leave my desk and let the computer do its thing.


Why not create batch files:


force_shutdown.bat
@echo off
cls
shutdown /s /f /t 0
exit

force_hibernate.bat
@echo off
cls
shutdown /h
exit

force_restart.bat
@echo off
cls
shutdown /r /f /t 0
exit

Create shorcuts to these batchfiles on your desktop.

Because that's a very stupid suggestion from an idiot like yourself.

make a batch (using your program names) and add icon on desktop.
.....


add shutdown/restart command from
https://www.computerhope.com/shutdown.htm

Note could do all TASKKILL with "Force" if desired.

In another list, someone asked about this topic and I took your info and
Sjouke's to provide a comprehensive answer.
