If you would like to create a shutdown shortcut for your Vista computer, here’s what you need to do. First, right click on your desktop and choose New. Click on the Shortcut option and then wait for the New Shortcut wizard to come up on your screen. Once it does, it will ask you for the location of your new shortcut. In the box, type “shutdown -s -t 01” (without the quotes). Then click on the Next button to finish out the process.

Yep, that’s all you have to do. Once your shortcut is created, you’ll see a new icon on your desktop and you can just click on it every time you want to shut your computer down. That’s right, you now have the power to turn your computer off with just one click! Note: Just to make sure you get the location right, it’s best to copy and paste it from the above paragraph. That way, you’re sure to get the spacing and everything correct. Now, go on and enjoy your brand new Vista shortcut. Oh yeah!
