Here's how to create a shutdown shortcut on your desktop
Go to your blank desktop
Right click on a blank space and a menu will appear
Choose New from the menu
Then choose Shortcut
Where it says type the location of the item type in shutdown.exe -s
Then press next
Now enter a name for your icon. Mine is called SHUTDOWN NOW
Press next
The Shutdown shortcut will be on your desktop
Different combination you can type in when creating a shortcut to shutdown, restart, or logoff.
Shutdown.exe -s
Shutsdown your computer in 30 seconds and will close all programs and ask you to save all work.
shutdown.exe -r
Restarts your computer in 30 seconds.
shutdown.exe -l
This one will logoff your computer back to the welcome screen where you will need to login again.
shutdown.exe -s -t 1
Shutsdown your computer in one second. the -t 1 tells it how long to wait. (one second in this case) You can put -t 10 or even -t 1120.
shutdown.exe -s -t 15 -c "Goodbye you idiot"
This is my favorite code. It will shutdown in 15 seconds and have a message in the box saying "Goodbye you idiot"
The -c "bla bla bla" stands for a comment.
Notes:
to stop the computer from shutting down type shutdown /a into the run box located in the start menu..
-f will force everything to close immediately without asking to save anything. |
