Shutdown Shortcut

[JAX]

I had shortcuts on my desktop for both shutdown and restart but, I have
forgotten how to create them. It's an easy task, just a matter of r-click
the desktop and "New>shortcut" then typing something like"shutdown -s -t00"
but, that isn't it. Could someone remind me how it goes?

I had a file with all kinds of neat little tricks like that but somehow, I
missed backing it up before a HD failed.

TIA, JAX

Hi there,

Yeah the shutdown shorcut... it's right here:

Copy the line below to Notepad: Name it and save with a
JS extension.

(new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).ShutdownWindows();

You may also would like to see here:

Right-click on your desktop and select New / Shortcut. You will see the Create Shortcut wizard. In the field labeled Type location of the item enter the following command:
"Shutdown -s -t 0"

Click Next. Enter a name for the shortcut, e.g. Quick Shutdown. Click Finish.

Hi Ramesh,

That's the method I was looking for, thank you.

For anyone else reading this and might be interested; To make a shortcut for
reboot, just replace the "r" with an "s".

Just out of interest.. is there any way to make the
shudown process a lot quicker with the "Shutdown -s -t 0"
method? Because it takes a lot longer to shut down that
way then going to start > shutdown..
