Create One-Click Shutdown and Reboot Shortcuts 2

Hello Everybody!!!!

Hope you have liked my previous post of about Fake Mailing(.....) Today I am going to post something useful for my readers for faster shutting and rebooting of your processor. The trick is although very simple and easy to use but still it is highly recommended for faster computing. After successful completion of this trick there will be two shortcuts in your desktop with the help of which you can shutdown or reboot your computer more faster than ever.

I will discuss this trick in two ways..first is

THE EASY WAY

and the second one is

THE HARD WAY

or

THE STYLISH WAY.

In the easy way the trick will be completed easily without advanced customization while in the hard way the steps are bit longer but with advanced and cool customization

Here is how the tricks goes !!!!

First, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing New, and then choosing    Shortcut.

The Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown 

    and then click Next 

After that in the next window choose any name for your shortcut ,For example " shutdown " and

then click finish.

After you create the shortcut, double-clicking on it will shut down your PC.

Also, see the below method by which you can shutdown your computer with highly advanced customization.

1st Step:

As like the easy way first step, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing New, and then choosing Shortcut.

2nd Step:

Then the Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type
shutdown -s -t 03 -c "BYEEEE!" ( in bold ) and after that click next.

3rd Step:

Then type shutdown or any name of your choice and click finish.

;Double click on the shortcut ....! and see what happens

I use this technique to create two shutdown shortcuts on my desktop—one for turning off my PC, and one for rebooting. 

Here are the ones I use:

shutdown -s -t 03 -c "SHUTDOWN TRICK created by himanshu-software!"

Double-clicking on that shortcut will shutdown your PC after a three-second delay and display the message "sHUTDOWN TRICK created by himanshu-software!"

shutdown -r -t 01 -c "REBOOTING TRICK created by himanshu-software"

Double-clicking on that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and display the message "REBOOTING TRICK created by himanshu-software"



The shutdown command includes a variety of switches you can use to customize it. See below :

-s

Shuts down the PC.

-t

Indicates the duration of delay, in seconds, before performing the action.

-c "messagetext"

Displays a message in the System Shutdown window. A maximum of 127 characters can be used. The message must be enclosed in quotation marks.

-f

Forces any running applications to shut down.

-r

Reboots the PC.
