Create Shutdown, Restart, Log-off, Hibernate, Switch User, Start Tiles for Windows 8 / Server 2012 using updated Metro Icons
I created one script that creates tiles for popular user/power links with new Metro icons.
Metro Style Icons created, improved look
This PowerShell script installs a Switch User, Log-off, Restart, Hibernate and Shutdown tile with new Metro icons on the new "start" screen for Windows 8+/Server 2012+.
Download and install Win8PowerUtilsTileScript.zip, see license/instructions below.

Tired of the old icons that have not been change since Windows 95, upgrade to modern Metro styled icons.

The script is free to use and sourced from Microsoft Gallery. The icons are free to use for personal use, but not commercially. Commercial/Small businesses requires a license to buy the rights to use the icons, which I created. Don't get shocked, we are talking pennies here. License and Disclaimers listed in scripts.
