Shut Down Shortcut in windows 8


Windows 8 hides the Power button in the Settings menu, so it takes multistep process just to shut down your PC. But you can pin a Shutdown button right onto the bottom of your desktop using following trick:
  • Create a shortcut on your desktop (right-click, go to New, then Shortcut).
  • Enter “shutdown /s /t 0″ (with no quotes, and, yes, that’s a zero not an “O”) as the location of the item, and press Next.
  • Now name the shortcut (prefereably “Shutdown”) and press Finish.
  • Right-click the shortcut, and navigate to Properties. Choose Change Icon in the Shortcut tab, and then OK to leave the warning box.
  • Choose an icon of your choice from the list. In the screenshot above, you’ll see we chose a Power button.
  • Right-click the shortcut again, and select Pin to Start. You can place the icon on your Start screen wherever it’s convenient. Clicking it will instantly shut down your computer.
  • But which one is the easiest and fastest way to shutdown? Hit power button on your computer!
