From VideoManns post in the Yz forum:

How to add ShutDown shortcut or shutDown dialog shortcut in the Dock????????

put an icon and set the

Link To: C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe

Work Folder: C:\WINDOWS\system32\

for arguments thease are the ones

-s (shutdown)

-l (logoff)

-r (restart)

additional arguments

-t xx (se ts a time for shutdown in seconds ie:-r -t 05 would restart in 5 seconds

-f (force all programs to close)

This other method is the most reliable and trouble free:

to get a shutdown window, go to http://www.tsoftcentral.com/tools/index.html and download closewin.exe. It's made by the same wonderful people who made truelaunchbar, and you can put the executable anywhere, then run shortcuts to it from your dock.

But you can't set a work folder in MobyDock

What's a work folder?

What do you mean?

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or what, but I'll reply anyways. :)

Work folder is the folder a program 'thinks' that it's in while its running.

Your program could be in c:\program files\folder1 but if you set the work folder to c:\program files\folder2 it would use folder2 as it's startup directory and expect to find all its files in folder2.

hope that helps.
