1) Make Windows (xp, Vista Or 7) Shutdown Quickly

The fastest way to shut down Windows is to press the power button. Not a good idea, of course, but it is quick. When that method gives you a wake-up call by the suddon loss of data, you might want to consider another alternative. One good solution is to reprogram your system’ s power button to exit Windows, without any prompts (except to save unsaved work, as needed) and then shutdown. To do this: In XP, open Control Panel. In the ‘ Performance and Maintenance‘ section, pick Power Options. Click the Advanced tab.
