This is even more useful in Windows Xp/7, where the Shutdown option is behind several menus. Follow this guide to create a shutdown shortcut in any version of Windows.
Total Step : 5
1:Right-click on your desktop. Hover the cursor over "New" and click "Shortcut" on the next menu that appears.
2:Enter the shutdown command. Copy and paste the following into the text field :shutdown.exe -s
- To create a restart shortcut, replace -s with -r (shutdown.exe -r).
3:Adjust the shutdown timer. Without changing any settings, the shutdown shortcut will shut down the computer after 30 seconds. To change the timer, add -t XXX to the end of the command. XXX represents the number of seconds delay you want prior to shutdown. For example: shutdown -s -t 45 will create a shortcut that shuts down after 45 seconds.
- To add a "goodbye" message, type -c "your message" (including the quotation marks) at the end.
4:Type a name for the shortcut. Click "Finish" when done.
5:Change the icon. If you’d rather have a custom icon instead of the default Program icon that Windows assigns, right-click the shortcut and choose "Properties". In the Shortcut tab, click the Change Icon button. Choose an appropriate icon and then press OK to confirm.
5:Double-click the shortcut to initiate shutdown. You'll see a window counting down and your message will be shown. Once the timer runs out, all your programs will start to close and Windows will shut down.
