Hi,
Desperate to avoid using the many quite difficult shutdown options in W8, i tried an old trick i used to do on computers i wanted to shutdown from remote desktop. This Works like a charm i W8 too..
1. Create a file using notepad called something like: Shutdown.js
2. Put this in the file: (new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).ShutdownWindows();
3. Save the file somewhere you like..
4. Now you can put shortcuts where you want them - and change icons to the nifty shutdown one in system32
This shortcut will bring up the shutdown dialog box, with all functions instead of just closing Windows directly.
Hope this is usefull to others!
