   Open Notepad. This is the free text editing program that comes with every version of Windows. You can use it to create a command that, when run, will shut down Windows for you.

   • You can find Notepad by clicking the Start menu and selecting "Programs" → "Accessories" → "Notepad". You can also click the Start menu, type notepad, and press ↵ Enter.

2. 2

   Type .shutdown.exe -s on the first line. This is the command to shut down the computer.

3. 3

   Add a timer by using the .-t flag. By default, the shutdown process will be delayed by 30 seconds. You can change this by using the -t gflag with the number of seconds you want to delay.

   • For example, to create a shutdown command that waits 45 seconds, type shutdown.exe -s -t 45.
   • To create a shutdown command that shuts the computer down immediately, type shutdown.exe -s -t 00.

4. 4

   Add a message to be displayed. If you want, you can add a personalized message to the shut down notice by using the -c flag. Using the above example, type shutdown.exe -s -t 45 -c "comment". The comment must be in quotes.[1]

   • For example, you can let the user know how long until the shutdown begins by typing shutdown.exe -s -t 45 -c "Computer will shut down in 45 seconds".

5. 5

   Click "File" and select "Save As". You will need to save the file as a batch file, which Windows can execute to run the shutdown command.

6. 6

   Click the "Save as type" drop-down menu and select "All Files [*.*]". This will allow you to change the file type.

7. 7

   Delete the ..txt from the end of the file name. Replace it with .bat.

   • If you don't see the three letter file extensions, click here.

8. 8

   Save the file. A new copy will be created with the .bat extension, and it will have a different icon than a standard text file.

9. 9

   Run the newly-created file to run your shutdown process. The shutdown will occur according to the rules you created.

   • Make sure you've saved anything you need to before running the shut down program.
