Windows 10 - Slide to Shut Down (Create Shutdown Button on Desktop)

If you’re tired of having to shut down via the Start Menu and want an interesting take on the option, you can do so with a small hack whereby you simply need to roll down the blinds to shut down.

Right click on desktop>New>Shortcut

In the new pop window, paste the following:

Quote:

---

%windir%\System32\SlideToShutDown.exe

---

This has made the icon clickable.Double clicking it will bring up a pull-down shade.

Using your mouse, you can drag the shade down to initiate shut down.

Please keep in mind though that this isn’t a fancy way to put your system to sleep. This will shut down the system so make sure all your work is saved and closed.
