    Can I use Control Alt Delete to shut down Windows Vista?

    Hi,
    What are the different options available with Control Alt Delete? Is there an option to shut down the computer with Windows Vista?



    Is START the only way to shut down the computer? Do I have any other options?

    Thanks!

    If you select the desktop, i.e. click an empty spot, you can use Alt-f4

    You can make a "Shutdown" button on your desktop, & leave it there to use OR if you want you could pin it to your taskbar.

    First right-click on and empty space on your desktop.
    Point to New then click on Shortcut.
    In the box that appears type either (don't type the quote marks) 'shutdown -s -t 00' for turn off, 'shutdown -r -t 00' for restart or 'shutdown -l -t 00'. If you like you can also set an icon for the shortcuts.
