Question: For my HTPC (for windows) when the computer boots up in 8secs to Windows, I created a shortcut to xbmc to the startup folder (so kids and wifey, and other people, don't mess around with the windows part of it), but was wondering if there is a way to make a shortcut or a link within Mediastream when you want to shut xbmc down, the entire computer turns offf (and not go into the Windows desktop - although there could be a link for this too) ?
i hope that makes sense...

thanks for the solution Hitcher. I wonder if Razorfish could create another button, that would also have "quit" and "shutdown" in the same menu. That would make things easier - but for now, the "quit" will equal "shutdown".
Also, this question prob has to do with more of XBMC than Mediastream, but there is a "Games" Section under "Programs" and is it possible for the directory to pick up .exe files? IE, I have old games for my HTPC to be accessible by everyone within XBMC and mediastream, such as Starcraft, Diablo II, and a semi-new game called F.E.A.R. It would be cool if Mediastream acted as a front-end to these games. Is that even possible? Also, the same thing would be with the emulators section.

There already is a shutdown, system info and restart xbmc button in the shutdown dialog, and all of them also (i think) in the submenu if you press right when on/off is highlighted. What's missing is the restart system button and quit xbmc button, both of which would be welcome additions for me. A quit button might need a whole new button, but I think you could stick the restart system in the same place as the current restart button. Pressing up and down when that button is highlighted could choose between restarting XBMC and restarting the system. On that note, an exit fullscreen button would also be welcome, but perhaps unnecessary.

one last thing, which might be an error.
Running Windows XP with mediastream, and when I enable "show larger clock", with "am/pm" - the am/pm doesn't fit within the context of the box.
