Faster shutdown in Windows Vista
This is a way to reduce the wait time before the computer shuts down. Althou' it's quite simple, it's also very effective!

In the new shortcut address you type "shutdown -s -f -t 00".

Explanation: Windows Vista uses the same executable to shut down your computer, but we're going to create a shortcut to the same executable with additional parameters.
Because "shutdown.exe" is located in C:\Windows\System32 we don't need to add the full path (any program located in C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 doesn't need the full path to it).

The parameters:
-s = shutdown
-f = forced (for speed)
-t 00 = time (in seconds, to wait until shutdown)

You can customize this shortcut to shutdown you computer in 3 hr if you like. Just remember the time is in secconds.

For more info about this command you can open a Command Prompt and type in "shutdown /?". You'll get a full set of instructions and additional informations.
