  you don't have to delete the original target, just add -s-t 00 after the double quotes

  yup...it works...and simiarly try these combinations out...using these u can make a shot cut restart icon, log off icon etc.
  -s :shuts down the PC
  -l :logs off the current user
  -t nn :indicates the duration of delay in 'nn' seconds
  -c "messagetext" :displays a message in system shutdown menu
  -f :forces any running applications to shut down
  -r :reboots the PC

  Hi vinay,
  
  The process for creating shortcut of shutdown is same as described above. "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe" -s -t 00.
  
  Please check the folder name and drive name [C: or D: or E: etc] of your "windows".

  hi go through the following steps for better performance.
  
  1. Right-click your Dekstop Computer and select New > Shortcut from the drop down menu
  2. In the browse box type: SHUTDOWN -s -t 01, click Next
  3. Type a desired name for your shortcut, click Finish
  4. After completing this step, you should have a new shortcut on your desktop that allows you to shut down your computer by simply clicking on it.
  5. When done verify function of the shortcut by double-clicking on it.
