Lots of discussion about lack of a quickly accessible shutdown, restart links in std W8 desktop.
I am aware you can create shortcuts, pin to task-bar , install shells etc.
I wanted a more simple solution (IMHO) , therefore I have created this gadget to use less space and clutter.

If you wish to give it a try: Download alarm.gadget.zip, unzip alarm.gadget to desktop
Select, Right click and then install. (do not use open will just unzip the gadget again
as .gadgets are only zipped up collections of files/folders).

Toying with the idea of creating a similar one with just 12 shortcuts
but not having played with W8 enough I am not sure which would be really useful
Any suggestions welcome
