Hi!
Hit "start", then "turn off computer".
I am then presented with 3 choices, standby, turn off, restart.
The cursor goes to the first one, standby.
Can I make it go directly to "turn off"?

Thanks!

Never heard of that possibility but you could create a new shortcut
and put this in the command line:-

%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s

then give it a name like "Shut Down".

Then put it on Desktop for a double click to shut down or in your
Quick Launch toolbar for a single click shut down.

Sorry - that give a 30 second delay warning. To do an instant shut
down make the command line:-

%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 0

That is a zero at the end.
 
I used to be able to run Shutdown.exe from a shortcut. But now the system
only allows a system administrator to run this program. How can I give users
access to run this?
