    Ever want a quicker way to shutdown XP without navigating through the start menu, or using a third party shutdown utility Here is a script that will do just that.

    Right click the desktop and choose New Shortcut. Copy and paste this script or type it in.

    %windir%System32shutdown.exe -s -t 0

    Choose Next and name it whatever you like. I name mine OFF. Click Finished. Right click and choose properties and pick a Icon for it if you'd like. I use a wall light switch Icon. I drag mine into my QuickLaunch toolbar for one click shutdown.

    Enjoy!

    you can specify the time in seconds after which the computer should shut down. (max limit is 99 seconds as you can only use two digits.) Until that time you can display a messege.

    put ...-t 20 -c "Good Bye"

    computer will shutdown 20 seconds after clicking the shortcut and until it will display good bye..
