Windows 98 – Blitschnelles Herunterfahren per Verknüpfung

Jedesmal, wenn Sie ihren Rechner herunterfahren möchten, steht ihnen ein großer Weg mit vielen Klicks bevor. Diese Odyseey sollten Sie nicht über sich ergehen lassen sondern mit wenigen Handgriffen eigene Wege programmieren mit denen das Herunterfahren zum Doppelklick oder Tastendruck wird.

And this is how you proceed:

1. Right-click on a free area of the desktop and select New/text file. Now open it by double-clicking on it.

2. Now write the following lines in it:

runonce.exe -q
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 1

Fast-Shutdown per Verknüpfung

Now click on Datei > Speichern unter… and a new window will appear. Under File type choose All files. Then enter the following as the file name: Windows Shutdown.bat (The name itself does not matter, only the .bat must always follow)

3. If you now double-click on it, your computer shuts down without prompting.

The number 1 in the text file can be replaced by the following commands:

0 = Log out user
1 = Shut down Windows
2 = Restart Windows
4 = Force shutdown, regardless of which programs are running. This can lead to data loss if they have not been saved.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (back then this is what Sandro looked like). He then went on to write elsewhere, such as for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
