How do I create shutdown shortcuts in Microsoft Windows 7?
Creating a shortcut
Creating a shortcut should be familiar to almost everyone, but we
will walk through the process just for clarity. There are other ways to
accomplish this task, but this is my preferred method. First,
right-click on a clear spot on the desktop and navigate to New |
Shortcut, as shown in Figure A.
Figure A
Navigate the menu to create a new shortcut.
When you click the Shortcut menu item, you will arrive at the input screen shown in Figure B. This is where you will enter the specific command strings to make your new shortcut do what you want it to do.
Figure B
Enter the command for your new shortcut.
For our example, we will enter the specific command that will shut
down a Windows PC. Type the following command into the box and then
click Next.
Shutdown.exe -s -t 00
The next screen (Figure C) asks you to name the
shortcut. I suggest you name the shortcut to correspond to the action it
will perform. In this case, we name it Shutdown.
