Does Object Dock Plus Have Shutdown / Restart Commands?

Published on May 10, 2007 By PapaShex In ObjectDock

I am currently using OD 1.9 free. The one thing it is missing (for me) are built in commands for shut down / restart / standby. I have found the docklet exitwindowsv1.2 which seems to provide the function, but the docklet will not allow me to change the icon image from the default question mark via the "dock entry properties".

I know the docklet author must fix that. I am wondering if OD Plus will add any new internal commands to perform shut down / restart / standby and negate my need for exitwindowsv1.2.

papashex you can also try this, add additional shortcut to your objectdock and put this in "Title: Shutdown"; "Link: C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe" (assuming your using WinXP) and in the Arguments tab "-s -t 05" the command -s is for shutdown and the -t 05 is how many seconds it will shutdown your pc.

and for the reboot add a new shortcut again to your objectdock, in the "Title: Reboot or Restart"; "Link: C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe"; "Arguments: -r -t 05"

note: don't put the quotes, you can choose what icon you want for the Shutdown/Restart.

hope this helps.
