Faster shutdowns

Small tip from Lifehacker for shutting Windows down quickly by using a command in the run dialogue box.

Click on the Start button and then Run (or press Windows key and R).

Type shutdown -f -t 0 and press enter

One very important warning. This forces all applications to close without any further warning. So there will be no chance to save changes in Word or other software that checks these things.

It may also be possible to run this with Launchy for an even faster shutdown.
