Create a Fast Shutdown Shortcut
As of Windows 2000, Windows has come with a remote shutdown tool to shut down and restart Windows. You can control this tool through the command line, but a much faster alternative is to create a shortcut.
•Right-click your Windows 7 desktop and select > New > Shortcut.
•Enter > shutdown.exe -s -t 00 -f in the location field,
> click Next, > give the shortcut a descriptive name, e.g. "Shut Down Computer", and > click Finish.
The letters (options) added above tell the tool to:
•(-s): shut down with a
•(-t): timeout of
•(00): zero seconds , and to
•(-f): force running applications to close without forewarning the user .
... You can see a full list of options when typing > shutdown.exe into the command prompt, which you can open via > [WINDOWS] + [R] then type > cmd into the text field and click > OK.
You can move this shortcut from the desktop to your quick launch bar or pin it to the taskbar. Double-click the shortcut to instantly shut down the system.
