Four years ago, when I visited my friend’s house, I noticed a red square shortcut on his monitor screen (that was when I had no idea whatsoever about computer). When I asked him about that, he said that it was shutdown shortcut. A couple months after that (when I am surprisingly very interested in computer), I tried to make one. But…I failed. After some searching on internet, I found that the application for shutting down the computer lied on the system32 (named shutdown.exe). From there, I figured out how to create my own shutdown and restart desktop shortcut. Here’s the steps:
- Right click anywhere on your desktop screen
- Go to “New->shortcut”
- Type “C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 00″ (for shutdown shortcut) or “C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00″ (for restart shortcut)
- Click next and name the shortcut you want it to be displayed
- Click Finish
OK, you’re done. If you need to shutdown or restart your PC, just double click the shortcut.
Have fun creating shortcut.
