Does anyone know where/in which .dll I can find the Windows restart icon for the restart shortcut on my desktop?

Its SO easy to find the turn off icon, why do they hide the other one so well?!! Thats MS for you.

To create a Quick Restart icon on your desktop:

Right-click on an empty spot on your desktop

Choose New | Shortcut

Where the Wizard says "Type the location of the item" type

shutdown -r -t 0

(that's a zero on the end, and there are spaces between all the entries)

Choose Next

In the box that says "Type a name for this shortcut" give it a name that you like. Personally, I call it "Quick Restart". Choose Finish.

Right-click on the new shortcut and choose Properties. Click the Change Icon button and change the icon to something that'll be hard to miss. You don't want to accidentally click this icon.

To test the icon, make sure no programs are running, then double-click on it.

To make a Quick Shut Down icon, follow the same instructions, but the shortcut command should read:

shutdown -s -t 0

If you had bothered to READ THE POST, he was asking where the icon was located, not how to do everything else you posted about.
