    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).

    Lightbulb "TFcleaner" FKA "Temp File Cleaner"

    This is a simple yet very effective cleanup tool for Windows XP systems.
    This tool will delete everything in the following junk/temp file locations:

    1. Temp folder for the current user's profile.
    2. Temporary Internet Files folder for the current user's profile.
    3. IE History folder for the current user's profile.
    4. IE Cookies folder for the current user's profile.
    5. Recent folder for the current user's profile.
    6. Recent MS Office files folder for the current user's profile.
    7. Windows Temp folder.

    8. Windows Prefetch folder.
    9. Recycle Bin.
    The tool temporarily stops and then restarts explorer.exe so when the Recycle Bin is emptied out, the icon reflects the changes properly.
    Also, if MS Office is not installed then the tool will not try to empty out the not-applicable MS Office Recent folder.

    PS. CleanupXP.exe on post#2 is a bit more thorough since it includes the standard XP created profiles in the process.

    Enjoy!
