lotodig- Just so you're more confident, I've re-booted my computer many times over the years using the technique I've described. Several times, for example, my cursor has frozen so I couldn't navigate to do anything, such as re-boot normally. I didn't always know why some problem was happening, but I did know that the power button re-boot would not make anything worse. Usually the only time you can have a problem is if you decide to do a re-boot/re-start of any kind in the middle of some major activity where you are making changes to the computer, such as installing updates or doing a defragmentation. However, in the other 99.9% of cases, all you're doing is cleaning out the RAM of some unexplained little problem and starting fresh.

just in case anyone needs to know how to create a desktop shortcut for shutdown here is a quick tutorial. Note those are zero's not the letter o Creating a desktop shutdown shortcut icon if you want to create shortcut icon for reboot, hibernate, etc just do a quick google search and you will find the instructions.

I am running an old version and need to for business reasons but pretty much ANY browser will allow you to add and remove options from the toolbar. I don't know why the latest version would be any different. It would be on the View menu-- and likely a feature called custom or customize. In my MUCH older version, the custom option opens a window that allows you to click and drag icons (including "bookmarks" onto your toolbar. My apologies if this no longer applies in the new version-- but I'd be very surprised if it isnt a feature that's available on the View menu.

I think that the return of the back button has an importance far beyond its use; what it means is that Houzz is not using a take it or leave it approach, but that they are working on issues and maybe we can expect further useful changes.
