iPower is a utilities which will add a tray icon and let users to instantly logoff, reboot and shut down computer by double click it.

Since i installed Windows Vista, i feel that i don’t really like the Vista Lock buttons feature. I always hope that i can replace the lock and save session button with reboot and shutdown button. As i feel that i seldom lock my computer or save the session.

Finally i found iPower, which add a tray icon so that i can quickly shutdown or reboot my PC (although i have another application which can shutdown my PC within few seconds, but this utilities allow Windows to gives any warning for unsaved application.)

iPower is a portable application. Upon launch, you may right-click the tray icon to choose either “Logoff, reboot or shutdown”. The default is “Shut down”. When you double click the tray icon, magic happen. Your computer will immediately logoff, reboot or shut down depands on what you choose.

I like to restart my PC from times to times, so i had set the double-click to “Reboot”. What about you?

SuperFast Shutdown – Shutdown your Windows instantly

SuperFast Shutdown is a free utility which can shutdown your Windows faster than you could possible imagine. It will shutdown the Windows immediately when you click the shortcut button.

How long you need to wait for the regular shutdown/restart precess? I guess a normal PC which install a lot of applications will take at least 2 minutes right? With SuperFast Shutdown, you can reduce the times needed. After you install the application, you will get two extra icons – Super Fast Reboot and Super Fast Shutdown.

My advises are to manually close all opened windows and save all open files before perform “superfast” reboot/shutdown. Else you may lost your data. It is because this application won’t prompt any warning message and will immediately shutdown when you press the shortcut icon.
