1 click shutdown button shortcut

Maybe most of you know about this...and sorry if i double post it.. :P

Here is a fast way to shutdown / reboot your computer with just 1 click..
How to create One Click Shutdown Button Shortcut.

1. For shutdown shortcut
- Right-click on your desktop
- Choose New, then choose Shortcut.(Windows Shortcut Wizard will appear.)
- Type in shutdown -s in the "location of the item". Click next.
- For the name just put anything you want like SHUTDOWN / OFF.

2. For reboot shortcut
- Right-click on your desktop
- Choose New, then choose Shortcut.(Windows Shortcut Wizard will appear.)
- Type in shutdown -r in the "location of the item". Click next.
- For the name just put anything you want like RESTART / REBOOT.

There are some switches you can use to customize your shutdown shortcuts.
shutdown -s will shut down PC
shutdown -r will reboot PC
shutdown -f will forces any running applications to shot down
shutdown -l will log off the current user
shutdown -t nn will indicates the duration of delay in seconds.The default is 20 seconds.
shutdown -c "message" will display a message in the System Shutdown windows, max 127 characters and must be enclosed in quotation marts.
shutdown -a Aborts shutdown. Ignores other parameters, except -l . You can only use -a during the time-out period.

Here is an example of my shutdown and restart button

shutdown -s -t 04 -c "Got To Go!" - This will shutdown my computer
shutdown -r -t 04 -c "Reboot system" - This will restart my computer
