I've used the shortcut since Windows 7. It's saved in my Desktop folder on my data drive. I just have to right click and pin it. Old habits.

Yup. I did the same thing on my Windows 7 .....funny... :)

Well, the link may work in South Africa, China, USA, and in some very small countries that they don't have computers, but, it won't work here in my backyard. I did as the link shown, and did it at least five time... When I clicked on the "Shortcut"...nothing. nothing . Waited a few minutes to see if it would take effect, but zero results.

So, I will settle for what is given...make three chicks (shutdowns) to turn the PC off.

Use this method.
I just tried it to confirm that it works............................

Right click at desktop > New > Shortcut > in the box, copy/paste this.................
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe /s /t 0
> click Next > click Finish.

You now have a desktop shortcut for Shut down.



You can pin it to taskbar or to Start by right clicking at the shortcut.

I knew there was a tutorial on this somewhere, http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials...ndows-8-a.html Works on Windows 10 too.

Or just copy yours from your Screenshot .....would be just as easy. :)

GREAT!... that works just fine for a quick Shut Down. But, when I went to turn on the PC, it taken about 4 minutes to get on the internet. Tried that several time...Start Up), same lingering time to get on. Before, all this I could press start button on PC and the Windows 10 logo would pop up within three seconds, and I'm on the internet in about 5 seconds. So, I deleted the quick Shutdown on the desktop, and went back to the original way Windows 10 had it when I installed 10. Now, I'm back to normal "real fast stsrtup, and three clicks to shutdown. I'm staying the old way... Thanks to all for the info...help.
