I was wondering if there are other ways to shut a computer down (windows xp) besides the start>turn off and pressing and holding down the ON button.

Are there any keyboard shortcuts to shutting down?

I'm asking because it may come in handy when a fullscreen program like a game or something locks up and won't let me access the start menu or the task manager.

Thanks.
 
That would be great when my girlfriend comes in and catches me watching p0rn! Let's go one more... make it voice activated.....*Oh Shit!!* kills the comp
 
CTRL+ALT+DELETE? LOL...
In all seriousness... Fast shutdown... Windows Key, U, U in succession....

Click to expand...

if you have a program that's so locked up that you can't even get to the task manager, i doubt any keyboard shortcut is going to respond faster than 5 seconds on holding the power button. Maybe just flip the switch on the back of the PSU.

 
itd be cool to make the sleep button on keyboards restart or shut down though. any way to do that?
