    Shutdown shortcut can't use F4

    I want to know if it's possible to make a 2 key shortcut like Alt F4 to shutdown the computer.

    I can't use Alt F4 as the F4 key is mapped to screen share so if I dont want to use the mouse I end pressing winduws key plus x then tab down to sign out and shut down which seems a bit long winded.

    TIA Bart

    Alt f4 not working

    Can't use "alt+f4" shortcut.

    When i enter alt+f4, the pop up box says "The item KHATRA.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly"

    Shutdown/Restart Shortcuts

    Hi,

    Go to C:\Windows\System32\shutdown and create a shortcut...

    Select "Properties" of the shortcut and add the delay to the end of the shutdown.exe...

    It should look like this for a STANDARD Shutdown... NOT using the Fast Startup Feature...

    C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 0

    The -s is for the shutdown... the -t is for the delay time..., and the 0 is for the time... you could use a 30 for 30 seconds for instance...

    The problem with this is that most all machines use a Fast Startup feature that needs a different command... C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -s -hybrid -t 0...

    For a Restart shortcut again create a shortcut to C:\Windows\System32\shutdown and change to this... C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 0

    The -r is for the Restart instead of Shutdown... The rest is the same..

    You can also click on your Desktop, then press Alt+F4... This will bring up the Windows 7 style shutdown\restart\sleep\hibernate menu...

    I have a programmable button on my mouse that is set for "Close"... This "Close" generates a "Alt+F4" command on any window you click on before hitting the button, and closes it...

    This also brings up the Windows 7 style shutdown\restart menu...

    I personally prefer to use the Windows 7 style menu for a Shutdown, and my custom Restart shortcut to restart.. This guarantees that the Fast Startup feature will work properly...

    EDIT... Corrected the Restart command..
