Shut down Windows through a shortcut
There are many ways you can create a shortcut on your desktop (or the desktop of a remote system) to shutdown or restart Windows.
Below are a few of the ways I have come across.
1. Shutdown.exe:
Shutdown:
%windor%\System32\Shutdown.exe -s -t 05
(where 05 is the seconds before shutdown starts)
Restart:
%windor%\System32\Shutdown.exe -r -t 0
2. Windows API:
"Restart" shortcut (warm reboot - Windows restart only) :
C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindowsExec
"Reboot" shortcut (cold reboot - restart complete) :
C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE shell32,SHExitWindowsEx 2
"Shutdown" shortcut :
C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindows
3. Windows Scripting:
(new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).ShutdownWindows();[Note]
Create a file remoteshutdown.js and just add the above line into it. Just double-click to run it and bring up the standard shutdown dialog.
Know any others? Post a comment...

Love these shortcuts so much I put them on my desktop with an icon. Damn, I'm the laziest man I know. But I remember George Jetson coming home to complain to Jane, "I pushed buttons for 3 hours today, honey!"

I still think the future of computers and applications is ones that learn from you.
I have still been thinking of developing an application that demonstrates what I mean. It would start learning your habits and usage and alter things based on that.
Basically it will always be evolving to become a more efficient system / application for you.
