Shutdown Windows 8 in single click

Shutdown windows 8 in single click

Microsoft made windows 8 more like a tablet OS,most of the options are hard to find when compare to the earlier versions.one of them is shutting down the pc,it was  very easy with start menu and couple of clicks.Now they removed start menu and introduced start screen.I wonder why the didnt incude a shortcut  to shutdown in the start screen ,it would be more convenient .The correct way is to shutdown is using the charms menu(win+i) >power>shutdown
but its not that fast like in the old days and confusing to new users.the old school ALT+F4 still functional but i prefer this simple way and can shutdown pc with single click from star screen    




      Step 1:Right click on desktop >new>shortcut





       Step 2: type  shutdown /s /t 0 
       (more clearly shutdown(space)/s(space)/t(space)zero)




     Step 4: Click Next continue .Rename the shutdown.exe if you want  click finish




You can see the shortcut on desktop .If you want to change icon right click on it  >properties>change icon andbrowse the .Ico file


The highlighted one is the default icon of shutdown shortcut
 Now to add it to the start screen right click on shortcut >Pin to start

shutdown Shortcut pinned to start
