Create a PC Shutdown Shortcut

Create a PC  Shutdown Shortcut

This is for those interested in shutting down their PC in just one step. The few seconds this shortcut will save you can add up and it is very simple to do.

Instructions

  1. Both Windows XP and Windows Vista respond well to this command. First right click on the desktop then select New and choose shortcut.

  2. When asked for the location of the item type shutdown -s. Click Next. Rename the shortcut or keep the default name Shutdown. Click finish.
  3. Now, when you double click this shortcut Windows will count off 30 seconds (which comes in handy if you were to accidentally click the shortcut) and then it will shut itself down.

  4. If you need to abort a shutdown you can in one of two ways - either make a shortcut by following all the same steps as above except this time when prompted for the location of item type in shutdown -a or click Start, choose run, type cmd, and click OK. EnjOy ..:)
