How can I make the command line comand "SHUTDOWN.EXE -S" into a desktop
Icon? I have a laptop that I use as a terminal to control an XP PRO pc. I
want to be able to shutdown pc power without typing the command line.

So what happens when you right-click on the desktop and select New to make a
shortcut that runs the command?
 
Create a shortcut.
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
Click the Next > button.In the Type a name for this shortcut give a
name.Click the Finish button.
[Note:-The following command would shutdown the computer instantly.
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t 00]
