I just found your tip and have made the shortcuts. I did not know this could be done. This shows that people can learn something new all the time.
Thank you

[Roshith]

thanks for the compliments gdlong.....thats the reason i posted it........figured at least one person mite benefit

[Kenny94]

Yep, another computer shortcut........
Shut down your computer in One second (well..umm don't time it)
(most current Windows versions)

Press the Windows key, release, and then press the "U" key twice. Windows will automatically shut down. Don't forget to save any files you're working on when you try this tip or you'll lose them

Good one Kenny,

In WinMe it brought up my shutdown menu with one press on u or U.

aarhus2004,
Thanks. Most folks are impress or they freakout, when U do this keyboard shortcut on their computer.....

[aarhus2004]

Kenny.

Why not start a 'Keyboard - Tips and Tricks' thread. It would be a good/useful one I reckon.

to make you computer shutdown or restart without the timer use the following commands in the shortcut shutdown.exe -s -t 0 that is a zero ont a naught and for the restart use shutdown.exe -r -f -t 00

that will shut down and restart with out the timmer...

Nice tip robertaussie.....Thanks..

Thanks Roshith,
Here is what I put in the Target line:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SHUTDOWN.EXE -s -t 2 -c "Say Goodnight Ethel!"

the minus t 2 makes it wait 2 seconds to shutdown,
the -c is so you can say something happy in a popup before the computer shuts down.

and in the Start in line I put:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32

This shuts down my laptop completely, and works for others I've given the shortcut to.
All are window XP users.
I like the idea that I can now put a restart icon on my desktop too thanks to your tip!

Thanks for posting it Roshish, and by the way the reason I use this shortcut is because I hate having to click so many buttons just to shutdown my pc.

The parameter you are looking for to speed up the shutdown is:

-t 01

That gives you a 1 second delay for the shutdown. Also, to shutdown the computer, you use the -s parameter. So the whole thing is:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 01

Works like a charm. Hook it to a shortcut and you can shutdown the computer in a couple of seconds.
