    Possible to create shortcuts somewhere off the desktop?

    I have a shutdown shortcut made using "shutdown -s -t 0" set to ctrl+alt+end on the desktop. If I move the shortcut file off the desktop, it doesn't work anymore.

    Im guessing theres no way to make it happen while keeping the shortcut in say, My Documents?

    Thanks.

    How about creating the shortcut direct inside My Documents, instead of moving the one from the desktop?

    cheers ...

    I'm trying to have it done with a keyboard shortcut, lol. If I'm gonna be clicking, then I'm just as fast on the startup menu.

    Or a different key combo possible is window key > u > r or s. But I was trying to set it to ctrl + alt + end.
