    • Right click on any blank space of windows desktop -> New -> Shortcut. A “Create Shortcut” window will open.
    • In the blank, type in: shutdown.exe -s -t 0
    • It means, shutdown and wait for Zero second. Click “Next” button for next step.
    • Type in whatever name you like in the blank. I use “Shutdown”. Then, click “Finish” button.
    • You are done. A new shutdown shortcut is on your windows desktop!

    Right-click on an empty spot on the Desktop and choose “New-Shortcut” from the context menu. In the line “Type the location of the item” enter:

    Code:
    %windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 0
    Press “Next”, give the shortcut a name and choose “Finish”.

    1. Go to 'New'
    2. o Shortcut.
    3. Click on 'shortcut'. This will open a 'Create Shortcut' window.
    4. At the 'Create Shortcut' window
    5. Type shutdown.exe -s -t 0 in the blank space. What is command means is, shutdown and wait for zero seconds.
    6. Click on the 'Next' button
    7. In the blank space showing you type in the name you want to use for shutdown, e.g. 'turn off' or computer shutdown"
    8. Click the 'Finish' button.


    You will now see a new shutdown shortcut on your Windows desktop.

    You can even add "-f" at the end (shutdown-s-t 0-f) that all applications are closed without confirmation, which further accelerates the process but can be risky if you have files to record such as Word documents ...

    Confirm and enter a name for your shortcut. Confirm the last time and now, that's it! This is the shortcut that I use in my vista!
