This tiny application makes you use the command line to perform shutdown operations, but be warned: Slam will shut your machine down without warning if you access it from the Start menu. Studying the ReadMe file is a must; it contains a list of command options you must use if you want to logoff, restart or hibernate. The program also has warn and wait options to give users enough time in closing other applications. You also can perform remote shutdown, although this will not work on default XP installations. Users comfortable with program commands will appreciate Slam and its ultrafast shutdown from Start. Those who would rather have their shutdown options readily available in an easy-to-understand interface can find a more user-friendly application elsewhere.
License is listed as free, but it is not. The installation dialog states that this is a trial version, and payment is "required" if you want to keep it.
