- 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”.

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!
