Did you find anything difficult to shutdown or restart your new Windows 8 computer? Here is how to shutdown or restart your Windows 8 from the system tray. As you know, Microsoft has made lot of changes to its new OS Windows 8. Though, the new Metro UI, new Start screen, etc makes Windows 8 an awesome OS, some users found this bit hard to cope with the new Interface, for example, the new Shut Down or Reboot option.

To shutdown the PC, just double clock on the NPowerTray tray icon and for other options like reboot, log off, etc, just click on the icon. You can set the tool to run at startup from its about box.

NPowerTray can be downloaded (67.5KB) from developer’s website here.
