That will make a complete shutdown though, not a "Windows 8 Shutdown".-phitsc (January 21, 2013, 03:54 PM)

Doesn't that require adding "/hybrid"? (On my win7 workstation right now, so can't check shutdown.exe arguments :)).

Josh:
Yes, /hybrid will do it. Forgot that one! Thanks f0dder

Can you make that into something like a desktop shortcut?

That should be possible. Just remember you can't make shortcuts directly to shell locations. You have to make a shortcut to explorer.exe with the shell folder as an argument. Like this:

explorer.exe shell:startup
