Quickly shut down Windows with a double-click [WinXP]

You can create a shortcut on your desktop that allows
you to quickly shut down Windows with a double-click
instead of having to use the Start menu.
When you create a shortcut to shut down Windows,
you can have Windows count down a specific number
of seconds before shutting down or you can have
Windows shut down immediately. If you set Windows
to count down before.... shutting down, a warning dialog
box appears when you double-click the shortcut.
The warning dialog box counts down the number of
seconds left before the computer will shut down

If you set Windows to shut down immediately
instead of counting down, the warning dialog
box does not appear when you double-click the
shortcut and Windows shuts down immediately.
The shortcut you create for shutting down
Windows works just like any other shortcut.
You can rename or delete the shortcut the same
way you would rename or delete any file.
