Hi, I'm Aaron Bewza and I rebuilt the Windows XP Luna shutdown and logoff dialog menus, because XP is 20 years old this year plus I've had a bit of interest in this while I was building it so I'd like to share it with you. I coded it completely ground-up in AHK (Autohotkey) and it's quite close to the original.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
- Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista or XP (32-bit or 64-bit)

Here is a Youtube of it in action:

and here is an image of the "shutdown w/updates" feature:

The code is probably too long to post here, but it's in the folder called "ahk" if you want to check it out. Thanks very much :)

Nice one. I've always preferred a direct and simple route to log off/restart/shutdown and ever since the demise of XP I've run with this group of icons on my taskbar:
