There are time when you have enough time to wait for windows xp to shut down which takes its sweet time but when you are in a hurry, you just can’t wait for those ending program or other saving stuff and want it to shut down instantly. Ok enough talking and let me tell you how it’s done.

These are the few steps you need to follow:
1. Press Alt + Ctrl + Del key to bring task manager
2. Press Alt + U to bring up the shutdown menu
3. Press Ctrl and keeping it press, click on “Turn Off”
4. Done! Watch your PC shutting down in 5 seconds flat without any objection.

You can click on “Restart” option also and watch your computer restarting faster than before. This trick is helpful for people with UPS with bad battery or in case the UPS backup is used up and its ticking faster and you don’t have enough time for shutdown.
