Create Shutdown, Restart, Log-off, Hibernate, Switch User Start Tiles for Windows 8 / Server 2012 featuring Metro Icons

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.

License:

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.
