5 keystrokes instead of 3 in xp? Do they want to say that vista is so good you shouldn't ever turn it off?

Default Re: Stupid vista query

Alt+F4 > Enter

Better: use the command prompt

Shut down immediately
Code:
SHUTDOWN /s /t 00
Save it in a dos batch/command file and assign a hotkey to it

Usage:
Code:
shutdown [/i | /l | /s | /r | /g | /a | /p | /h | /e] [/f]
    [/m \\computer][/t xxx][/d [p|u:]xx:yy [/c "comment"]]

    No args    Display help. This is the same as typing /?.
    /?         Display help. This is the same as not typing any options.
    /i         Display the graphical user interface (GUI).
               This must be the first option.
    /l         Log off. This cannot be used with /m or /d options.
    /s         Shutdown the computer.
    /r         Shutdown and restart the computer.
    /g         Shutdown and restart the computer. After the system is
               rebooted, restart any registered applications.
    /a         Abort a system shutdown.
               This can only be used during the time-out period.
    /p         Turn off the local computer with no time-out or warning.
               Can be used with /d and /f options.
    /h         Hibernate the local computer.
               Can be used with the /f option.
    /e         Document the reason for an unexpected shutdown of a computer.
    /m \\computer Specify the target computer.
    /t xxx     Set the time-out period before shutdown to xxx seconds.
               The valid range is 0-600, with a default of 30.
               Using /t xxx implies the /f option.
    /c "comment" Comment on the reason for the restart or shutdown.
               Maximum of 512 characters allowed.
    /f         Force running applications to close without forewarning users.
               /f is automatically set when used in conjunction with /t xxx.
    /d [p|u:]xx:yy  Provide the reason for the restart or shutdown.
               p indicates that the restart or shutdown is planned.
               u indicates that the reason is user defined.
                 if neither p nor u is specified the restart or shutdown is unpl
anned.
               xx is the major reason number (positive integer less than 256).
               yy is the minor reason number (positive integer less than 65536).


Reasons on this computer:
(E = Expected U = Unexpected P = planned, C = customer defined)
Type    Major   Minor   Title

 U      0       0       Other (Unplanned)

Tech_enthu is somewhat of a mystery
Default Re: Stupid vista query

I think its an excellent idea, I'll try this when the next time I shut my computer
I have put up my system on a 600VA UPS and my 19" monitor is not connected to the UPS so when there is a powerloss I do have to shut down my computer .
Altough I have set up the ups to shut down my computer when there is 5 minutes of backup left, I need this command to shut down the system without seeing the display.
therefore I think this batch file will come in handy.

Directions of the command courtesy of the original poster and a thank you.

Copy the command "SHUTDOWN /s /t 00" without the quotes and paste it into notepad save the file as a xxx.bat file and in the drop down box below the file name entry select the all files type.

then save it in the root or wherever you find it easily. right click the saved batch file and select send to desktop (create shortcut) then right click the file on the desktop and give it a shortcut I gave it a Ctrl+Alt+Q so when I want to shut down the computer I just need to press Ctrl+Alt+Q on my keyboard and voila it shuts down.

This is great, although "Win + -> + -> + -> + Enter" isnt so bad either,

^ Man, you must either be really be a busy guy or have a shutting down/booting up twitch that you are so desparate for a shortcut

Before you start calling me a smart ass here are 2 cool things I learnt whilst using Vista -

You can use the Quicklaunch items with the simple shortcut
Quote:
Windows Key + Order of the item in the Quicklaunch list
Eg, If My Computer is second in your quicklaunch list, you can press "Windows key" + 2 to open my computer. Neat huh?

Secondly, for all those using big monitors (20" + ) try out increasing the font dpi to 120. Calibri looks absolutely brilliant. Easier to read also

Rep me if you like them.

PS: Please don't give links of vista tweaking sites This is from my personal experience.

Change Windows Vista Start Menu Power Button Default Action My Digital Life
an alternate option is to change the default sleep action to shutdown.
