Move the Windows XP ShutDown Options to the StartMenu

Why do I have to click "Turn Off Computer" & then choose from "Standby, Turn Off & Restart"?

Is it possible to put these 3 buttons directly on the bottom of the modern start menu?

The only way I can think of is if you change the 'url' of the Turn Off Computer to directly go to shutdown.exe instead of the dialog it usually goes to. I don't know how to add buttons onto the menu, nor am I completely sure you can change the 'url' easily.

I've had it like this for a long time. Use these strings:

Shutdown
windowspath\System32\shutdown.exe -s

Reboot
windowspath\System32\shutdown.exe -r

Hibernate
windowspath\System32\shutdown.exe -h

The /f option is handy for forcing programs to close. With /c you can show a message; -f "bye bye" (not sure about this one, dont use it myself)

UPDATE: owwww, just thought of something. This was what I used with windows 2000. For XP the hibernate function doesnt work, think I downloaded / coded a replacement shutdown.exe some years ago. So if you need hibernate; find something else. If not use the MS one...
