Create a Shutdown Icon

Tired of having to open your start menu to shut down your computer? Here's a way to add a shutdown icon to your desktop in Windows. Then it'll only be a double click to turn your PC off.

Right click the destop and select "New", then click "Shortcut"

In the box type exactly with the spaces shown below:
 
shutdown -s -t 01
 
Click Next
 

Now it will ask you to name your shortcut. By default it will already say 'shutdown', but you can put whatever you choose

It's time to customize your icon. Right-click the icon and choose "Properties", then select "Change Icon"

On the next screen, just pick the one you want to use and select OK

I chose to have the Alien head for my Alienware laptop

From now on you can just double click your new icon to shutdown your PC
