When you tried to shut downing you computer, you should clicking 2 or more button to do so. Especially in Windows XP. In Windows XP you should click the Start Menu button then Shut Down button. After a few second, you should click a Turn Off button once more. Imagine if you are using a laptop without a mouse on it. How long you take it?

But I found a tip to make it easier for you. You can shut down the computer with only 2 key stroke. This tips is very simple. To shut down you computer you can press Alt+F4 keys then press U key on your keyboard. After that the computer will shut down.

You can also use this tips to bring your computer in Standby mode with pressing S key after you press Alt+F4 keys. Or you can Restart you computer with Alt+F4 keys and R key.

Remember, this tips only works in Windows XP. In Windows Vista and Windows 7 I can’t see it works.
