How to create Shutdown icon in your desktop

Mostly we use the start menu to shutdown the system, which we find it tedious.

Here is the other way to shut down your system in a single click through the desktop icon.

Follow these steps to create the desktop icon

• Right click on any empty desktop spot.
• select new and then select shortcut.

• Type the location of the file name mostly it will get stored in (C:\WINDOWS\system32\syntax) for XP directly type shutdown followed by a space and -s
  

• Click next and give a file name to this icon.
• Click finish.
• An icon with your favorite file name will be there in your desktop.
• Just double click this icon your system will shutdown in 30 second.

NOTE: This is forced shutdown so wjhen ever you click this icon without saving your file all the data you left halfway will get erased.
