Windows 8 Found a Great Power Button Idea!!

[Drew]

This is pretty much what I requested from the Win8 Build Team.

W/ this, no more need for the previous separate Shut Down & Restart buttons; although they can stay on Start, as tiles. And, better than Alt+F4...better than anything, really. Way better than, Charms>Settings!

Still hope we see it embedded in next versions of the OS.

Have deleted the Shut Down & Restart buttons from Quick Launch, now.

Put the Power button on the Sys Tray
Rt Clk (it) > About
Check (box) "Start w/ Desktop"

Now will be permanently there following reboots

NPowerTray

Enjoy!!
