Two things I would like:

a) a shortcut on my desktop that shuts down the computer.

b) a command form "run" which does the same thing.

Just to fill in the background, the first one because I it is possible but I have foggoten how it is done. The second because I want to look cool

create a text file called shutdown.bat, put it in my documents

open it in notepad and type
shutdown -s
save it


create a shortcut to this (right click drag to desktop)

As for two, just type that in
start > run

Thanks, they both work well but the countdown to shutdown form the run command reminded me of MSblast, Sorry, may I have one more run command: the one for rebooting in safemode directly without using msconfig if it exists as it might be useful one day.

Thanks I found a reply(too dicecy and pointless) to my above question about direct bat. file into safemde.
but oh but, now I am doing something here wrong because the "shutdown.bat" I made. following the instrutions above, gave me a command window and the words "shutdown -s" flooding down. I cannot see what I did wrong but I got the same results for two computers.
