Shutdown Control Panel

Shutdown Control Panel is a small software application designed with an overall simplicity in mind for helping you restart, lock, sleep, logout, or shut down your computer with just one click.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to work with a shutdown tool on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

Shutdown Control Panel sports a clean and intuitive layout that embeds five colorful buttons for helping you trigger the desired action: restart, lock, sleep, logout, or shutdown.

The built-in icons are very suggestive, so it proves to be extremely easy to activate the desired mode. Plus, when you hover the mouse cursor over the built-in buttons, the tool automatically displays tooltips revealing their corresponding function. On the downside, you cannot schedule tasks at a custom time and run a user-defined program before triggering an action.

Since it doesn’t bundle any configuration settings, the entire process seems nothing but a child’s play. During our testing we have noticed that Shutdown Control Panel carries out a task quickly. It leaves a minimal footprint on system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

To sum it up, Shutdown Control Panel seems to be the right choice in case you are looking for a simple-to-use application that comes bundled with only a few functions.
