any way to add shortcut icon for sleep and shutdown?
I think the start menu way of putting pc to sleep or shutdown is annoying. was wondering if I could add desktop shortcuts to activate one or the other?

Hello,
Yes, you sure can create and use desktop icons for these. The tutorials below can help show you how to.

thanks for the quick reply. alt f4 doesnt work since its a quick setting for mute audio I set.
downloaded both files. the sleep button.vbs shuts down pc. it doesnt goto sleep. but the shutdown window(that gives options) doesnt help me. its the same thing as me pressing start and choosing what I need. I want a double click icon and be done with it. I really dislike software where theres an excess of clicks. its inneficient UI.
is there a KB shortcut for sleep? at least i have a shutdown icon I can double click. thank you. does it also work in w10, I want to use with my other offline pc.
As a test, try creating a Sleep shortcut using the command below instead.
