Hey! This gadget is almost perfect, I have just one suggestion. Could you please add "uptime" of the computer to options of "bottom text"? That would be awesome :)Thanks

For windows XP vista sidebar, I edit the gadget.cs file to get the Shutdown command to function.
Origional"if (Order == "Shutdown")
System.Shell.execute('shutdown', '-p');"

Edit:if (Order == "Shutdown")
System.Shell.execute('shutdown', '-s -f -t 0');

There is also an error that pops up on the Restart command. I'll fix it later because, even with the error, it does restart the system.

Thanks

Hello, I previouly had this gadget showing 12 button, I can't seem to make it do that in Window 7. Am I missing something?

Hi, I've used System Control 1.4.1 for the first time today in order to reboot my computer (OS : se7en).

Since then, the Power LED keeps blinking all the time !!! Which is very annoying.

The Power LED stays ON during the BIOS start-up process, but as soon as se7en starts loading, it begins to blink and then it never stops.

My PC is totally OK besides this problem, and I believe System Control 1.4.1 can be the cause of it.

Can you please give me a way to restore a normal function of my Power LED ? Thanks in advance. :)

Re: command for toggling screensaver.

I googled for "command line to toggle screensaver", clicked the resulting shortcut for "http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/creat..." ...and, in -comments- section, came across someone's vbs text snippet for toggling the ScreenSaveActive key (between 0 and 1) in registry... under HKCUControlPanelDesktopScreenSaveActive.
Does that help?

I had to edit the snippet in Notepad to replace all the 'strange' quotes with dumb text double-quote characters, then saved as a .vbs file, and it works in Win 7 ;)... dragged it onto the face of your Quick Launch tool for now. Maybe combining System Control and Quick Launch into one gadget would be an idea for future? ;)

A suggestion: In System Control, you do have an icon to -start- the screensaver... but I'd really like an icon to -toggle- disabling the screensaver. (I still like to coddle my CD/DVD burning hard/software.) Hope you can dis/enable screensaver with -one- icon. ;)
Thanks for listening.

Just checking up on this gadget to see how it's evolved, if any. Bytheway, if you want Keyboard Shortcuts for your Action Timers, you can get my Advanced Control System Gadget. Just look it up. Be sure to get version 1.3.4 and nothing earlier than this. You can shortcut to just about anything, filepaths, files, websites, and/or many many gadget functions.

Cheers :)

Heh, just noticed that the gadget that supports adding shortcut links is actually yours, the Quick Launch gadget. :D

Ergonpandilus, We'll add something in for this in a future update. The link you posted seems to go to an error page on the gallery, do you have the name of the gadget so we could take a look?

You can totally do modifications to the gadgets for personal use.

Actually, the right way to do it would be allow users to add custom shortcut for timer. There is already a gadget allows to add links (http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=dd8...), so it should be quite easy to implement. I guess it's okay if I modify your gadget to do that as long as I don't publish it?

Hii Ergonpandilus, Thanks for the suggestion. We will look into adding this in a future upgrade. Please let us know if you have any other thoughts/suggestions.

Very handy Gadget, I used to have Shutdown gadget but this is much better and more comprehensive. Thanks! :)

One suggestions though. The maybe most handy feature is the timer, but it lacks of custom option for command/executable. Just think about the possibilities if I would be able to execute a batch file for example! :D Any chance that you might custom command in future for timer? And perhaps also chaining timers?

Seriously, your pages need to actually display what your applications actually look like, these representative icons are nonsense.

Hello, Your SystemControl-Gadget is very good and i like it very mouch, but in V.1.4.1 the confirmation of powerful commands doesn`t work any more on Windows Vista.
Greetings from Germany, Thomas.
