You will be amazed at how much faster you can
shutdown your computer by using this trick.
Instead of going to the start menu, choosing
shutdown, then waiting for the computer to shut all the programs down,
you can create a shortcut on the desktop to do it quickly.
You can create a shutdown, restart, or a logoff icon
on your desktop which will work a lot quicker than using the usual
buttons in the start menu.
Watch this video tutorial
on how to create a shutdown icon on your desktop. And I forgot to mention
that you can change the look of the icon by right clicking on the icon and
choosing properties, then choosing to change icon.

How to create a shutdown, restart, or logoff shortcut on your desktop
Notes:
to
stop the computer from shutting down type
shutdown /a into the run box located in the
start menu..
-f will force everything to close
immediately without asking to save anything.
shutdown.exe -rRestarts
your computer in 30 seconds.
shutdown.exe -lThis
one will logoff your computer back to the welcome screen where you will
need to login again.
shutdown.exe -s -t 1Shutsdown your computer in one second. the
-t 1 tells it how long to wait. (one second in this case) You can
put -t 10 or even -t 1120.
shutdown.exe -s -t 15 -c "Goodbye
you idiot" This is my
favorite code. It will shutdown in 15 seconds and have a message in the
box saying "Goodbye you idiot" The -c "bla bla bla" stands for a comment.
