If you don’t like going to the start menu every time you want to shut down, you may want to try this. You can actually create a shortcut that will automatically shut down your PC, log you off, or reboot.
To do this:
Right-click on the desktop and choose “New–>Shortcut”. Browse to the file C”:\Windows\System32\Shutdown.exe”, then click Next. After this, you have to name the shortcut and click Finish. Now right-click on the new shortcut and choose “Properties”. In the Target box, add the command line switch -l (to log off), -s (to shut down), or -r (to reboot).
