SLR (Shutdown - Logoff - Restart) is a small self-extracting zip file that creates 3 shortcuts on desktop under 'All Users' profile. These shortcuts were meant to make the corresponding action much easier to execute, especially in the 'Quick Launch' bar where it would take a single-click. SRLL also include Lock WS (Workstation) so when placed in Quick Launch bar, it's quicker than WinKey + L.
Logoff and Restart are instantenous while Shutdown command goes through a 3 second countdown to make sure all process are (naturally or forcefully) shutdown prior to the shutting down to minimize the chances of a system hang-up.
You can modify the countdown time for any of the actions by modifying the value from 00 to 99 (seconds) as seen in the screenshot.
To modify: right-click on any of the shortcuts, then click on Properties.
Note:
- User needs to have elevated permissions to use the "Shutdown" and "Restart" shortcuts. Standard user accounts with limited rights can only use "Log Off" and "Lock Workstation" shortcuts.
- For Vista and 7 users, when creating the shortcuts yourself, make sure to use forward slash (/) before the parameters instead of dash (-) which can only be used with Windows XP (XP also accepts forward slash).
