The Windows SlideToShutDown Shortcut is adorable. And apparently, it’s been hiding on PCs since WIndows 8. If you want to try this out on your PC:
- Right-click on your desktop wallpaper, mouse over “New” and then click Shortcut
- In the entry field, type slidetoshutdown and click Next.
- Type any name you like for this shortcut, or accept what is already in the field, and click Finish.
Now you have a desktop shortcut that can power off your computer. When you trigger it, you’ll see a window-blind swoop down for you to use. Slide it down to turn off your PC. Swipe it up and away if you’ve changed your mind.
