Re: Fast Shut down keystroke

Yes, the same one used for XP,
Create a shortcut as follows:
c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 00
When the Icon is installed on the desktop, right click it and click change
Icon,
select the shutdown Icon you want.

Re: Fast Shut down keystroke

If you drag the shutdown Icon to the Quick launch tool bar it only takes one
click of your mouse.

Another one to try is for a fast reboot as follows:
c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00

I use the brown colored UP arrow Icon for this one.

Have fun,
Jerry
