Hello, here is a way to shutdown your computer in a way other than the conventional one. This is easy when compared to the usual way. (Going to the Start Menu and clicking the shutdown button).
I came to know about this idea when I was just seeing the contents of system32 folder. I came across an icon called Shutdown. I thought of keeping a shortcut of this icon on the desktop. But, the shortcut I created did not work. So, I asked about this to my friend and he said to do the following:
1. Firstly, right-click on an empty space on the desktop.
2. Go to “new” and click “Create Shortcut” in the popup menu.
3. You will get a window like this:

4. Type “shutdown –s –t 0” without inverts in the place marked in the above image.
5. Press the “Next” button. You will be asked to type the name of the shortcut. Give the required name and press “Finish”
6. You will get a shortcut on the desktop.
You can also create restart icon in the same way. All you have to do is type shutdown –r –t 0 instead of shutdown –s –t 0. And for the Log Off icon just type shutdown -s -l in the shortcut address Dialog Box

    Hey! I understand this is kind of off-topic but I needed to ask. Does building a well-established blog such as yours require a massive amount work? I am completely new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!
