XYplorer Beta Club

I thought it'd be handy if you could assign your user-made scripts to custom toolbar buttons (if that is possible, it's passed me by!)

Also, is it possible to make a script that closes XYplorer and then shuts down the PC?

My second wish is just that there was some more convenient way to access the control panel, instead of going through the tools menu. Again, a toolbar button would be great.

Custom toolbar buttons are planned for future (not sure when though). Alternatively, you can have scripts in the catalog. Dont forget to add two colon in front of scripts, like :: rename bat, file<#00>, p

Maybe with command prompt. Not sure, but will research and update.
Update:
I could do it like this:
1) Create a shortcut like C:\shutdown.lnk with "shutdown.exe -s -f -t 20"
2) Make an item in catalog with "::msg "Shutdown system?",1; open C:\shutdown.lnk"; msg "Close XY?", 1; #192

Its not possible to shutdown XY and then start a script, instead I start the shutdown.exe with 20 seconds delay during which XY can be shutdown (and settings saved). Else you can bail out by aborting shutdown with another shortcut:
"shutdown.exe -a"

Try ::#640 from address bar or put the same in the catalog. btw, you can access all tool menu items via their IDs, which you will find under customized keyboard shortcuts (shift+f9)

Brilliant, you've answered all my questions, thanks.

I've now got catalog entries for shutting down and opening the control panel.
