System Shut down shortcut

[chara33]

If I go into system32 folder, I can see a file called calc.exe which I can put on my desktop for quick access. Where can I find one for system shutdown so i can just click on it and my PC will shutdown? What is it called even if there is such a thing? OS is vista. I tried shutdown.exe but that didn't work.

thx

Make a batch file and create and place it on the desktop.

shutdown -f -s

Can also use Nircmd which is pretty versatile for different Windows functions:
NirCmd - Windows command line tool

Install the program, then create a new shortcut to the nircmd.exe file with the appropriate parameters in the shortcut as shown on the page.

Thx for that. I found software that will restart and shutdown to do it.

Just one of the many tools available built right into things that come installed with Vista.

no need to use thirt party software. Microsoft windowXp already have it as built in software.
right click on desktop==> new shortcut==>on "Type the location of item" please key in shutdown /s /t 0(zero) ==> finish.
now on your desktop will see a shortcut names shutdown.exe. just click it your pc will shutdown.

note if you want to restart just change /s to /r.
