Hello,
If you create these shortcuts in Windows Vista the computer will shut down
or restart quicker if you use a 00 instead of the 01 at the end of the line
in the "type the location" box. You will also stop getting the dialog
telling you that Windows will shut down or restart in less than a minute.
Also be careful not to use shortcut keys that you use a lot in other
programs. For example, if you use Alt+CTRL+1 for shut down then if you are
in Word and use the keystroke for heading 1, the computer will shut down
instead.
Take care.

hello;
here's another way you can perform the shutdown task.
give these steps a try.
Shortcuts for shutting/restarting windows.
this works for windows XP, and Vista.
You can create a shortcut icon, you can assign a keystroke that will
shutdown windows.
1. Minimize to your desktop and press f5 to unselect any item on your
desktop.
2. Press the applications key and enter on new.
3. Enter on shortcut.
you should see this screen;
Create Shortcut
Create Shortcut
What item would you like to create a shortcut for?
This wizard helps you to create shortcuts to local or network programs,
files, folders, computers, or
Internet addresses.
Type the location of the item:
Browse...
Click Next to continue.
Next Cancel
4. Type in "SHUTDOWN -s -t 01" without the quotation marks
5. Click NEXT.
6. Now type in a name for your shortcut.
The default name will be,shutdown.exe
You can name it anything you want then click finish.
You will now see a new
icon on your desktop with the name you gave it.
7. Press alt enter on the icon and give it a shortcut keystroke.
When you want to shut down
your computer just press your hot-key.
or you can just press enter on the icon to perform the shutdown task.
If you would like to create a shortcut for restarting your computer, use
the same steps above, Just replace the first S with a R.
SHUTDOWN -r -t 01

I thought those were neat. I have always done the windows/arrow three
times
to shut dodown route but I think I will use the CTRL alt delete key.
