Click ‘Next’ and you will be prompt to name the Shortcut. Give it any name you want and click ‘Finish’.

Now, whenever you hope to shutdown your Computer or laptop. Simply double click on this shortcut icon.

You can also fully customize this shortcut Icon.

Right Click>’Properties’>’Change Icon’

This allows you to change Shortcut Icon to any image you want.

If you want to create a Shortcut Icon for restarting your Computer or Laptop, Simply change -s to -r.

As s stand for shutdown while r stands for restart.

Change the number after -t to set the time of your Computer and Laptop to wait in seconds before shutting down.

You can also insert a comment by adding -c ‘Your Text’ to the line. It will display the Text you specified while counting down the time in seconds.
