Shut down dialog box

[absorba]

Hello everyone.

This question has been asked one time before, but i'd like to really make a request to everyone who knows some more about the registry, resource hacker etc.

In Windows XP, there was a setting where you could choose to have a dialog box appear when you clicked the shut down button. In Windows 7, this dialog box can be opened when you have all windows minimized and then press alt+f4. There you have a drop-down menu where you can choose shut down, restart etc. In XP, I think it was enabled when you disabled the welcome screen.
How can you make the shut down button in Windows 7 behave the same way?

I'm sure there has to be some coding for what the shut down button does somwhere in the registry/using resource hacker.
Apparently the command for bringing up this dialog box is taskkill.exe /IM explorer.exe.

Any ideas?

Hello Absorba, welcome to the Seven Forums.

I do not think this is possible. Why not, instead of clicking Shut Down button, click the small arrowhead next to it? There you have all possible options.

Classic Shell can give you this and other XP things you may be missing. Welcome to Classic Shell

Kari:
Thanks! Yes, although i'm looking for a way to really get this dialog box to open.

kado897:
I have Classic shell and to my knowledge there isn't an option to do this with that software?

Is this what you mean.



It is called shutdown box and is the default with classic shell.

Oh right, you get that when you use one of Classic shells start menus. I don't though

Bongo:
Yes I saw that as well, but it's really the implementation to the Shut down button I'm looking for.

Fair enough but I don't think you can do it in Windows 7 natively.
