How to Do the shutdown shortcut prank for XP

Internet Explorer icon on computer desktop

Tutorial on how to create a shutdown shortcut on the desktop to shutdown the computer when clicked.

shutdown -s -t 1000 -c "comment"

-s = shutdown; -t = time; -c = comment.

shutdown -a = abort current shutdown.

Please comment/rate if I missed anything or how it worked for you.

This shortcut does not work in Vista, at least Home Premium.
