Tips Creating Shortcut for Shutdown, Restart and Log Off

Shutdown

Shutdown

You can create a shortcut on the desktop to shutdown your computer quickly. You can create a shutdown, restart, or a logoff icon on your desktop which will work a lot quicker than using the usual buttons in the start menu.

Here’s how to create a shutdown shortcut on your desktop

  • Go to your blank desktop
  • Right click on a blank space and a menu will appear
  • Choose New from the menu
  • Then choose Shortcut
  • Where it says type the location of the item type in shutdown.exe -s
  • Then press next
  • Now enter a name for your icon. Mine is called SHUTDOWN NOW
  • Press next
  • The Shutdown shortcut will be on your desktop

Different combination you can type in when creating a shortcut to shutdown, restart, or logoff.

Shutdown.exe -s
Shutsdown your computer in 30 seconds and will close all programs and ask you to save all work.

shutdown.exe -r
Restarts your computer in 30 seconds.

shutdown.exe -l
This one will logoff your computer back to the welcome screen where you will need to login again.

shutdown.exe -s -t 1
Shutsdown your computer in one second. the -t 1 tells it how long to wait. (one second in this case) You can put -t 10 or even -t 1120.

shutdown.exe -s -t 15 -c “Goodbye you idiot”
This is my favorite code. It will shutdown in 15 seconds and have a message in the box saying “Goodbye you idiot”
The -c “bla bla bla” stands for a comment.

Notes:

  • to stop the computer from shutting down type shutdown /a into the run box located in the start menu..
  • -f will force everything to close immediately without asking to save anything.
