    I absolutely love EWF and use autohotkey v0.6 to monitor usage but i don't like to first select commit and then shutdown using the start menu. so i searched a little and found a way to add a button to the xp start menu.

    i edited some registry files i found elswhere and created a script... the result is a "commit shutdown" in my start menu. now i am sharing it with you.

    good luck and tell me what you think.

    I think it is handier to have one on the desktop or in the Quick Launch bar.
    + It is easier to do - no registry editing.

    Simpy, create a shortcut to
    Code:
    shutdown -s -t 00
    , name it whatever you want, right click it, change icon, choose the shut down icon and done! ;)
