How to shutdown your computer

There is a command in the command line in Windows XP, Vista, and 7 that lets you shutdown your computer. Combined with the right arguments, you can create a prank on somebody. First create a batch script with this code:

SHUTDOWN -s -t 05


That shuts down the computer after a five second delay. Then, create a shortcut to the batch script on the desktop, and name it whatever. For this example, lets say you named it "Google Chrome". Then assign the shortcut the Google Chrome logo, and delete the real Google Chrome icon. So then, when an unsuspecting person opens Google Chrome, their computer shuts down!


Additionally, you can use the argument -c "text", and it will display "text" during the five second delay.
