How to make an icon for SHUTDOWN on your desktop

Some of you may want to do this. Though Windows XP gives you a three click option to shutdown. But here you can shutdown you computer by clicking on an icon.

Right click on your desktop and select "New"
click "Shortcut".
In the "Type the location of the item" field type "shutdown -s -t 00" (shutdown-space-hiphen-small s-space-hiphen-small t-space-zero zero)
click next. It will prompt you that the shortcut's name is 'shutdown'. 
You can change this name to any of your liking.
Click 'Finish'
Its done. Now you have a shortcut on you desktop. Double clicking on it will shutdown your computer.
