First, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing New, and then choosing Shortcut. The Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown. After you create the shortcut, double-clicking on it will shut down your PC.But you can do much more with a shutdown shortcut than merely shut down your PC. You can add any combination of several switches to do extra duty, like this:
shutdown -r -t 01 -c "Rebooting your PC"
Double-clicking on that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and display the message "Rebooting your PC." The shutdown command includes a variety of switches you can use to customize it. Table 1-3 lists all of them and describes their use.
I use this technique to create two shutdown shortcuts on my desktop—one for turning off my PC, and one for rebooting. Here are the ones I use:
shutdown -s -t 03 -c "Bye Bye m8!"
shutdown -r -t 03 -c "Ill be back m8 ;)!"
Switch
What it does
-s
Shuts down the PC.
-l
Logs off the current user.
-t nn
Indicates the duration of delay, in seconds, before performing the action.
-c "messagetext"
Displays a message in the System Shutdown window. A maximum of 127 characters can be used. The message must be enclosed in quotation marks.
-f
Forces any running applications to shut down.
-r
Reboots the PC.

Remote Login
Remote Password Screen of the computer

Hello friends in this post i am going to tell you one of the most important concept of networking that is Remote Login.Here in this post i will tell you what the Remote Login is,how it works and many other things related to it.
In simple words Remote Login means to access other computers on the network or on the other network by the use of telnet or rlogin command.In other words we can also say that Remote Login means to access native computer from the other computer on the network when you are connected to the internet.Generally there are two protocols that are used for Remote Login:
1.RLOGIN Protocol Overview
2.TELNET Protocol Overview
For using the TELNET command for remote login the syntax is:
-->telnet hostname
After connecting with the remote host, you will be prompted for your login id and your password just as if you were logging on via a terminal on that system.
For using the RLOGIN command for remote login the syntax is:
-->rlogin hostname
This command provides an advantage over the telnet command that is here in this command you can specify a username on the command line, and can set it up so that when you rlogin to a host you will not be prompted for a password. Rlogin assumes you wish to login to an account with the same name as the account you are presently logged in as. If you wish to change this, use the -l option.
