How to add Shutting Down & Restarting Button on Taskbar in Windows 8

I mentioned previously that I hadn’t figured out how to shut down or restart Windows 8 with native controls. I instead installed Rainmeter, one of my favorite freeware apps, and have been running a skin that contains one-click buttons for shut-down, restart, hibernate, and more.

Rainmeter skin “Cobolt”

But there is a way.

Here’s one web article that describes the multi-step process, though it mistakenly says “three clicks” instead of the obvious four. Or just read further for my own description:

Native Shutdown or Restart

1. Bring up the right column by either (1) pressing Windows+C on the keyboard, or (2) moving your cursor to the lower or upper right corner of the screen.

2. Click “Settings”.

3. Click “Power”. You’ll get three options at that point.

4. Choose from three options: Shut down, Restart, or Sleep.

That’s four clicks, about the same as it would have been in Vista, using the Start menu. But in XP and previous versions of Windows, it was just two clicks: (1) Start, and (2) Shut down / Restart. Of course, neither is as fast as the one-click option I have with my Rainmeter skin.

If you don’t feel like installing and running Rainmeter for just this one function, you can create your own one-click shortcut for shutting down or restarting. It’s not terribly difficult.

Creating One-Click Shutdown or Restart Buttons

1. Right-click in a folder (or on your desktop) and choose “New” and “shortcut”.

2. Enter shutdown /s /t 0 (that’s a zero) when Windows asks for a location.

3. Enter Shutdown (or whatever you want) as the name of the shortcut.

4. Choose a recognizable icon for the shortcut:
    a) right-click on the new shortcut
    b) select “properties”
    c) on the shortcut tab, click “Change icon”
    d) click “OK” on the warning box
    e) select an icon from the list of available images
    f) click “OK” twice (to close the change icon box, and close the properties window)

5. Right-click on the shortcut icon and select “pin to taskbar” if you want it on your Desktop’s Taskbar.

6. Right-click on the shortcut icon and select “pin to Start” if you want it to display on the Metro screen.

The above instructions are for a “shutdown” button. For a “restart” button, follow the same procedure, except in step two, use the following text: shutdown /r /t 0

Both on the taskbar and on the Metro screen, you can of course move the icons/buttons around so they’ll be in a handy location for you.

How to Create and Use Indian Rupee Symbol In Windows XP

All the Indian Rupee has got its own symbol. Government has already declared the symbol and we are ready to use it. But being new, it is not available in your Windows font. But here I’ve introduced a process to use the symbol in any application of Windows XP.

Windows XP has its own utility to create a font manually. In a previous article, I have described how to create your own font. So at first create the Indian Rupees symbol following the process in the article. Learn how to create own font in widows XP. After creating the font you can easily use that in any application. I’ve created the font in my Windows XP. It looks like this:

Here is the image of the font in my Windows.

How to use efficiently the font in Windows

Once you have created the font success fully, you can use that by copying in clipboard. For your convenience, create a shortcut of the character map. To do so go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character map and right-click on “Character map”. Then click  Send To >  Desktop (Create Shortcut).

Now whenever you need to use that symbol just open Character Map from the shortcut and copy the font in the clipboard.

Now open any application and paste the symbol. For instance, I’ve used the Rupee symbol in Notepad.

Here is the video of how to create the font of Indian Rupee symbol in Windows XP:

All Symbols From Keyboard Using ALT Codes

 

 

Do you know what are the ALT Codes ? Let me explain you in just two lines. There are many symbols and letters which we use everyday but those keys are missing on our keyboard as it required a lot of space to put those keys on it. Then how to type those symbols. Yes one way is there. Just by using the ALT codes you can type all the following symbols.


How to type

To type these symbols just hold the alt button and type the corresponding number from your numeric keypad(don't use the top numeric keypad, use the right side numeric keypad) and the release alt button. For example: If you want to get the α symbol just hold your alt and then type 224 and then release alt.

Oh noooo, I use a laptop and I don't have the numeric keypad

Wait.....If you are using laptop then you will not get the side numeric keypad, rather you can make your Num Lk on and then type using the same process. But remember you have to type the numbers using the keys M, J, K, L, U, I, O, 7, 8, 9. You can see these number written on those keys on your laptop keyboard.
Example: If you want to get the symbol α then make your Num Lk on, hold your alt key and type KKU
  
What I gonna do with those damn symbols

Yes, definitely a good question. A smart answer is when you are typing in some other language like Portuguese or Greek then it will be very useful. The left, right, top and bottom arrows are also useful. When the exact situation will come you will better understand.

See you next time. Bye.
