Place a restart icon on my taskbar

Anonymous

I want a one click restart icon on my taskbar instead of 3 clicks.

Tried the youtube videos and it does not work.

I cut and pasted the commands that were given.

When I tried the shortcut , it looks like a command screen flashed very briefly and nothing happens.

Why, oh why, did microsoft do a 3 click? Way to go microsoft.....sigh.....

Thanks

Hi p,

I'm Paul and I'm here to help you with your concern.

Did you make sure that you put in the right command?

> Right-click Desktop > click New > Shortcut.

> Copy-paste: shutdown /r /t 0

> click Next > put the name: Restart > click Finish.

> Right-click the created Restart shortcut > click Properties.

> in Shortcut tab > click Change icon > select the icon > click OK.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.

Hello p ben,

If you like, you can create a new shortcut using a restart computer command you want in option seven of the tutorial below.

Afterwards, you can "Pin to taskbar" this shortcut to use.
