Powering Tiles with PowerShell... Creating Shutdown/Restart/Logoff Windows 8 Tiles with PowerShell

Microsoft Script Center - Create a Shutdown/Restart/Logoff Windows 8 Tile for the Start menu (PowerShell)

Script to create a Shutdown/Restart/Logoff Windows 8 Tile for the Start menu (PowerShell)

Introduction

This PowerShell Script illustrates how to create a Shutdown or Restart or Logoff Windows 8 tile to the Start menu.

Scenarios

In Windows 8, without a Start button, properly shutting down or rebooting Windows can be a bit of a chore. So many users want to shut down or reboot windows in  just one click.

I wonder what else we can with this? hum...
