Win+8+Shut+down

Win 8 Shut down If you have been foolish enough to upgrade to Win 8, this should help with one of the problems With the Start menu missing from Windows 8, the familiar method of shutting down by clicking on Start and selecting shutdown is also missing. The most obvious, but also somewhat laborious, method is to bring up the Charms, click on the power icon and then select "Shut down". If you are at the Desktop, you may find it quicker to click on the taskbar and press Alt-F4 to bring up a shutdown menu. However, if this simply is not quick enough for you, you can create your own shut down button by creating a shortcut to the Windows shutdown command. To do this, open up Windows File Explorer and pick any folder where you would like to store your shortcut. It does not really matter where this is as it is a tiny file. Now right-click in the file pane and select New, them Shortcut. In the box marked  "Type the location of the item:" type " **shutdown /s /t 0 **" (without quotes), then click Next. Now name this shortcut to "Shut down" by typing in the box provided and click Finish. Now you can right-click on your new shortcut and select "Pin to Start" to make it appear on the Start page and/or "Pin to Taskbar" to make it appear as a button on your taskbar. **Be careful, as clicking it will affect an immediate shutdown with no chance to back out.**
