CREATE SHUTDOWN SHORTCUT OS - Windows

~ Right click -> New -> Shortcut

~ When you click the Shortcut menu item, you will arrive at the input screen. This is where you will enter the specific command strings to make your new shortcut do what you want it to do.

~ We will enter the specific command that will shut down a Windows PC. Type the following command into the box and then click Next:
shutdown.exe -s -t 00

~ The next screen asks you to name the shortcut. I suggest you name the shortcut to correspond to the action it will perform. In this case, we name it Shutdown.

~ Technically, you could stop here, but I prefer to give these shortcuts an icon that will help me remember what it is they do.

~ Now you should now have a new shortcut on your desktop. When you click the shortcut, your PC will shut down, so make sure you save your work before you test it.
