Make a shortcut for shutdown logoff and restart

Many people have a question why they cannot get a shortcut for shutdown or restart or for logoff my question is who said you cannot get it. You can get it, and it’s as easy as making a shortcut of your folder or file from any location. Here is the method for shutdown, restarts and hibernate shortcuts. You can call these options from your run panel also.

b. For Restart: “shutdown –r –t 0 –f”
c. For logoff : “logoff”
Here
–s stand for shutdown
-r stand for restart
–t stand for the time
0 stands for 0 second you can change your seconds to shutdown default is 30 second
-f stand for forceful execution of the command if anything is running background it will close that without asking to you.


3) You can call these shortcuts from your run panel also so no need of click on desktop twice its procedure is very simple. Here is a detailed post for making any file,folder and program shortcut
