One Button Shut Down????

[cmputrskillme]

Hey y'all! Merry Merry to you!

They told me in school, however, I forget now. What is the way to shut windows/computer down without all the mouse clicking and questions?

Thanks,
Sharon

Yank the plug? :D

Actually, most PCs these days will power down cleanly by pushing the power button. Really.

Hold that button in until it shuts down.....some puters respond differently...some do it right away, others take a moment.....just a little extra info....:D

Right click on the Desktop.
Left click on New > Shortcut.

In the Type the location of the item: textbox enter
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s

The -s parameter is used to shut down the computer.

The following two parameters can be used with -s:
-f Forces running applications to close without warning.
-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds.

The following command would shut down instantly.
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t 00

Click the Next > button.
