Curious Guest said:2. Shutdown from desktop (more info)
Create a shortcut on your desktop. Right click > New > Shortcut. In the box, enter this: SHUTDOWN -s -t 01 and
click Next. In the next prompt, enter the name for the new shorcut (eg: Shutdown PC).
Optional #1: Right click on the shortcut and choose icon for it.
Optional #2: Drag the shorcut to your Quick Launch for faster approch.
Instead of 01 (in red above).. just type 0 and the shutdown will be still faster!
