Shutdown Computer
Shortcut - Create
|
| |
| 1 - Right
click on the desktop. Click [ New ] and [ Shortcut ]
option. |
 |
| 2 - Type [
shutdown.exe -s -t 00 -f ] in the [ Type the
location of the item: ] input box. Click [ Next ] to
proceed. |
 |
| 3 - Enter a
name for the new shortcut. It makes no difference
what name you assign as long as you pick something
you understand and it adequately conveys the
function. Click [ Finish ] to proceed. |
 |
| 4 - That's
all there is to the procedure. As far as the
shortcut being functional it's 100% ready to go. You
can leave it on the desktop, pin it to the start
menu, pin it to the taskbar, or dump it into any
folder you want. As long as you don't have any kind
of time delayed restart or shutdown function set,
clicking the shortcut will have no effect on the
system. |

This has
nothing to do with the functioning of the shortcut,
but if you find the default icon for the shortcut
rather boring you can easily change it to something
else. Just right click the shortcut on the desktop,
click [ Properties ] to open the [Shutdown Computer
- No Delay ] dialog box and click the [ Change Icon
] button.
A message will appear saying
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe contains no icons.
Just click [ OK ] and the Change Icon dialog box
shown below will appear with hundreds of potential
icons to select. Pick one you like and click [ OK ]
button. Click [ OK ] in the [Shutdown Computer - No
Delay ] dialog box and the change is complete. |

- Important Information -
The Elder Geek sites contain many articles and suggestions for
modifying the Windows operating system. I've tried these
tweaks and tips on many systems. Sometimes they work,
sometimes not. The point is, ensure you have a current,
tested backup of all system and data files and understand
how to restore the system in case something goes very wrong.
You can still yell at me, but I assume no responsibility for
your actions and use of the information and disclaim any
legal responsibility for any consequences of such actions. |
