Now create a restart shortcut in the same way. Right click, select 'New', then click on 'Shortcut'. In the location field, type
`shutdown -r -t 1`

Right-click on the shortcut; click on 'Properties' and then click on 'Change Icon'. One can use the default or any other one that may make it catchy on your desktop.
