quagmondo is correct, to pick up where he left off, this is how to create a shortcut to shutdown your pc that can be placed anywhere you like
Right click on your desktop, select NEW and choose NEW SHORTCUT. In the dialog box that appears enter the following into the shortcut location box:
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s
Click NEXT, assign a name to it, and finish the wizard,
There you have it, a new icon on your desktop, free to move anywhere that will shutdown your pc when executed
