Soukyuu Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 So I "upgraded" my pc functioning as a home server to win8.1 and now I see they only give you an option of "disconnect" and "sign out" in the shutdown menu. Is there a way to have shutdown/restart in there as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 That's been true a long time with Windows. I remember as far back as Win 2000 or XP removing the shutdown entries when remoted-in. Back then one used to be able to invoke it via a menu in Task Manager.You can use the SHUTDOWN command line command (e.g., SHUTDOWN /R /T 10 to restart in 10 seconds).I get that capability back in the start menu now via ClassicShell. There's a specific configuration option in ClassicShell to enable it.-Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I use ProcessHacker (http://processhacker.sourceforge.net/) to remotely hibernate/shutdown PCs when I'm connected via RemoteDesktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Under XP, enabling the thingy was possible even without Classic Shell:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303070/en-usDoes the Ctrl+Alt+End key work not anymore?http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2006/10/20/849575.aspxI suspect that one way or the other, a Registry key is involved (or can be used as a workaround) for the missing feature, though I have NOT at all clear the "way of working", see:http://www.planet-europe.fr/docs/support/Performances-Serveur/Most%20Important%20Registry%20Keys%20for%20Terminal%20Services.pdfIf an application or a script is to be run when a user logs off, the following key is used:• HKLM \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \Windows NT \CurrentVersion \Winlogon \LogoffApp: Listsapplications and scripts, separated by commas.• HKLM \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \Windows NT \CurrentVersion \Shutdown \LogoffSetting:Controls what action the system should take when the Log Off command is used (0 - Log off;1 - Shutdown; 2 - Shutdown and Restart; 3 - Shutdown and Power off)• HKLM \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \Windows NT \CurrentVersion \Shutdown \ShutdownSetting:Controls what action the system should take when the Shutdown command is used (0 - Logoff; 1 - Shutdown; 2 - Shutdown and Restart; 3 - Shutdown and Power off) Somehow OT, but still related, this thingy here seems like nice:http://www.donkz.nl/jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soukyuu Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thanks for the suggestions. For now I think I will just press alt+F4 when the desktop is focused. I also thought about using a win+x menu customizer to add respective entries, but I know of none which is capable to remove the default entries, to get rid off the redundant "shutdown or sign out >" menu. ClassicShell could work as well, but I'm currently not happy with it's active corner hiding implementation, so I more or less refuse to use it Ctrl+Alt+End does work, but when you click on the "Shutdown" symbol, you are presented with a menu... with the only entry in that menu being "disconnect".
