To save going through the menus to shut down windows try this method to make a desktop shortcut.

Make a new shortcut
Paste this into the Target C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 0
Change the Run menu to minimised

Now you can just click on it when you want to shutdown windows.

I renamed it 'Babylonian Judgement' for added mystic!

Cheers,

Andy.
