Is there a way I can make a shutdown and log off button on my desktop so that
when I double click on them it either shuts the computer off or restarts it
intstead of going to the start menu?

Create a shortcut with the following in the "target" line.

reboot in 5 seconds = C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -r -t 05

Shutdown in 5 seconds = C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 05

The -r is how I shutdown my system, well really:
E:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -r -t 0

I also put it in the quick launch bar - it's one click and I'm down.

How does the "-r" shutdown your system? With the "-r" switch it should
*reboot* your system.

I've a newer computer and to shutdown I just hit the button, I multi
boot, to change systems I want to restart not shutdown.

So I use -r the OP I imagine would want to use -s.

?, agree'd with your method, and add'd that if one were to put it into
the quick launch menu one click is all it takes. And at 20K it's
nothing to have it sit in memory.

It's how I do it.

One says "reboot" in 5 seconds. The other says "shutdown" in 5 seconds. I
just gave the O/P a second option seeing as he was curious.

Hi ThaMasta

Just wanted to say that if you use Richard's method (above) you can get
icons for your new shortcuts here:

(at bottom of page, "Shutdown Restart Icons".)
