In prior versions of windows, have seen 2 versions of shortcuts on the
desktop for shutting down the PC. One is a simple shutdown command. The
other, an unconditional shutdown command. Both are linked to corresponding
batch files which make up the actual commands. Not sure about Vista.

Here's a google search:

No one has answered by original question yet. The two suggestions, thank
you, were not the correct answer. I would like to make a short cut to
turn off a computer with vista rather than that little button at the far
lower right corner of the start menu. Anybody have a clue?
