Shut Down from Your Desktop
If you're trying to eliminate every extraneous mouse click, you can shut down your computer with an icon on the desktop.
Right-click on your desktop,
click "New," and then click "Shortcut."
In the "Type the location of the item" field, type "shutdown -s -t 00" to give you a way to shut down the computer immediately.
(Change the -s to -r to create a reboot shortcut instead.)
(Tested on Windows XP)
