How to create a shortcut to shutdown
We all have always doing of having to click on Start to shutdown our computers. But did you know that you can create a shortcut that will automatically shut down your PC, log you off or reboot.
First Right-click on the desktop and choose New / shortcut. Browse to the file C:\\Windows\System32\Shutdown.exe, click Next, name the shortcut, and click Finish.Properties. In the Target Box, append the command line -1 (to log off), -s (to shutdown), or -r (to reboot).
If you also add the switch -t xx (where xx is a number of seconds), Shutdown.exe will display warning and countdown before activating. You can specify a comment to be displayed with warning by adding the -c "your text". The countdown behavior is particularly useful if the shutdown is launched through the Scheduled Tasks applet. Once it's activated, the only way to stop the program is to launch it again with the -a (for abort) switch on its command line - you might create a seperate Cancel Shutdown Now right click on the new shortcut and choose shortcut for that.
