Show Stopper v2.1.3

** Updated August 16, 2007

Shutdown, Power Off, Reboot, Log Off, Suspend or Hibernate -- all from a desktop shortcut or command line!

Karen's Show Stopper allows you to create shortcut icons that quickly Shutdown, Power Off, Reboot, Log Off, Suspend or Hibernate your computer. You can also run the program as a small icon in Windows System Tray, and shutdown Windows by right-clicking on this icon.

Another option allows you to shutdown Windows from the Show Stopper's main window. You can even run the Show Stopper from a command line, and specify your type of shutdown via command-line parameters!

And now, you can specify one or more tasks (programs) to be run automatically just before your computer is shutdown, powered off, logged off, etc.!
