Is there an option that I can add to the shutdown.exe/ s command so
Vista will shut down right away?

Open a command prompt window.

Type in shutdown /?

Take a look at the valid switches that can be applied with the command.

Use "SHUTDOWN /S /T 0"

For more info on the commandline options available for this (and other)
commands, use "HELP <comamnd>" or "COMMAND /?"

Hope this helps!

Hello Don,

The command in the shortcut from this tutorial will force a instant
shutdown.
