Shutdown Your PC with a Click

All you need to do is... #Right click on an empty Desktop spot -> select New -> Shortcut -> type shutdown followed by a space, and then enter one or more of the parameters listed below -> click Next -> type a suggestive name for your new shortcut -> finally, click Finish. #This is the Shutdown.exe (located in %systemroot%\System32, usually C:\Windows\System32) syntax: #shutdown [-i-l-s-r-a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "Text"] [-d[u][p]:xx:yy]> #Valid command line switches: #-a = Abort system shutdown in progress ONLY IF the -t xx timeout option was already set to ANY value other than 0. ALL switches except -l and -m are ignored during abort. #-c "Text" = Text comment (case insensitive) to be displayed in the Message area of the System Shutdown window. MUST be enclosed between quotes. Maximum allowed 127 ASCII characters. #-d [u][p]:xx:yy = Reason code for shutdown: #u = User code. #p = Planned shutdown code. #xx = Major reason code. Positive integer number less than 256. #yy = Minor reason code. Positive integer number less than 65536. #-f = Force running applications to close without warning. #-i = Display the shutdown interface (GUI). MUST be the first option! #-l = Log off the current user of the local computer (default action). Can NOT be used with the -m option unless the current user has Sysadmin rights, in which case the -m switch takes precedence #\\computername = Remote/network computer name (most always case sensitive) to log off/restart/shut down. Current user MUST have Sysadmin rights to be allowed to use this switch! #-s = Shut down the local computer. #-r = Shut down and restart (reboot) the local computer. #-t xx = Set shutdown timer to timeout for xx seconds. IF NOT specified defaults to 20 seconds. Allowed values between 0 and 99 seconds. The -a switch is the ONLY one that CAN be used during the timeout period. NOTES: a)The dash (-) in front of these switches can be replaced by a forward slash (/). b) Spaces are NOT required to separate the shutdown command from ANY following switches, but ARE required to separate ANY switch from its following parameter(s), if any. For example: shutdown -s -c "Shutting down!" -t 3 tells your computer to shutdown after waiting for 3 seconds while the System Shutdown window will display text above in the Message area. c)Optional: after you're done creating your customized shortcut for shutdown -> right-click on it -> select Properties -> enter your desired key "combo" in the Shortcut Key box (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + End) -> click OK/Apply. From now on just left-click on your shutdown shortcut or hit that key combination to turn off/restart/log off your computer.
