If you need to know the commands to do the following
-
Shut down
-
Restart
-
Log off
-
Sleep or Hibernate
-
Lock
-
Switch user
Below is the commands (They work for Windows 8 but they should work for other operating systems also)
NOTE
: They are case sensitive.Menu option | Command | NOTE |
Shut down | shutdown.exe /s /t 00 | all lower case |
Restart | shutdown.exe /r /t 00 | all lower case |
Log off | shutdown.exe /l | all lower case |
Sleep or Hibernate | rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState | Mixed upper and lower case |
Lock | rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation | Mixed upper and lower case |
Switch user | tsdiscon.exe | all lower case |
I have also created shortcuts. They will work in Windows 7. They should work with Windows 8 as well but since I don't have Windows 8, I can't verify if it will work or not.
Click on the item you want to download (download it to the desktop of your system)
When you create a shortcut for one of the options listed in the table do the following
-
When you see "Type the location of the item"
-
Type in the command listed in the table above. (For example, for Switch user, you would type tsdiscon.exe here)
-
When you get the name section
-
give it the name listed under menu options (as in the example 2, you would type Switch user)
