Keyboard Short Cut to "ShutDown/Restart/Hibernate" Window

Windows power options (Shutdown, Restart & Hibernate) are available via the start button (in Windows 7) & from the Charms bar (in Windows 8), but you can also create hot-keys for them easily.

Shutdown

1. Right-click on desktop and select New and then Shortcut.

2. In the dialog that appears, type shutdown and click Next.

3. Type the name of the shortcut and click Finish. Your shortcut is now on your desktop.

4. Now, Right-click on it and select Properties.

5. In the properties dialog, select the Shortcut tab.

6. In the Shortcut key field, press your desired combination of keys and click OK.

Your shortcut is ready. Now, if you press those hot-keys, your computer will shutdown.

• Right click on the shortcut, and click Properties.
• In General tab, check Hidden. This will make this shortcut disappear from your desktop.
