So, what method do you use frequently to shutdown your computer?
I guess it would be clicking on shutdown button via going through Start button (more often).
Here I am sharing few another methods to shut down your PC so let’s move ahead to find out more interesting ways.

1. The Standard Approach (Mouse Only): Click on
Start button and then navigate to Shut down menu and click on it. It’s finished.

2. Regular Approach (Keyboard only): Press Windows Key and then hit “U” key two times repeatedly and fast.

3. Shortcut Approach : Create a shortcut for shutdown and place it on desktop or in quick launch bar. You can follow these instructions shown by screenshots.

                               
                Right click on desktop and do as above.




Type "shutdown -s -t 00" and click next. after that click on finish.



4. Press the Win + R key to open the run window. Type “shutdown -s -t 00”. [s means shutdown while t means the duration after which you want to initiate the shutdown process]. If some open processes or application won’t let you turn off, append a -f switch to force a shut down by closing all active processes.
.
5. Press Win + M key to minimize all active windows and press  Alt + F4 to bring shutdown options dialogue box. Choose shutdown from drop-down list and press Enter.


6. One more simple but less know way is to use Run window. It’s a bit long but a way too. ;-) . Press Win + R and now type “cmd” and enter. then type “Shutdown –s –t 000 and press Enter. Piece of Cake. :-)


7. You can also download utilities from internet which can perform the task of shutdown for you. Go here. Shutdown Utility .

8. The last and the most powerful way (yeah ;-)) is to set your power button on Shutdown. Just press or hold down the power button and your system will shutdown. But it is advisable only in case of system freeze or deadlock conditions.


I hope you've enjoyed the article.If i missed something then feel free to comment below and will update the same.
Till then, Happy Geeking, Happy Inking ;)

Moving forward in our new series Reclaim your Nascent PC, here I am going to share a new tip with you. Often whenever you surf internet, temporary internet files are stored in your system for quick viewing. But with increasing time, the number of these files also increases.
Further, whenever you use a program, it sometimes saves temporary information which keeps on occupying more and more space in your harddisk.
Morever, windows keeps copies of all pictures, videos and other documents thumbnails. In addition to these, whenever your system encounters any problem or error, it stores the relevant information in files for error reporting and solution checking.

The sum of all above facts is that these useless(for a normal user :D) occupied memory space can be freed without any problem. You don’t need any particular software or utility for this purpose.
Here we go in simple steps.
  • Press Win + E key or click on My Computer. Right Click on your Operating System drive (i.e. C drive commonly) and choose "Properties".


  • In Properties Dialog box, choose "Disk Cleanup" option.



  • After clicking on that button, there will an activity like below in image.It will take few seconds.



  • Now there will be shown a disk cleanup window. Check all appropriate options and click on OK button.


  • On clicking OK button, again a window will appear showing disk cleanup process.After finishing that, you are done.

This is the whole thing you have to do.
Simple!!!!!!!!!! Isn't it? :)
If you like it,leave your precious comment as feedback.
Meanwhile you 'd like to check first post of this Series out.

See you Soon. Till then Enjoy your Nascent PC. :-)

Started your system and now sitting before your system and waiting for loading its services and applications (in simple language taking too long to start) takes little longer and it irritates too when you want to do your work quickly.
Sounds similar…
It occurs when you have installed application and softwares in a large number and these application makes their places in windows startup list.
Obviously too many applications in startup, too much time to boot completely.
Here is a way to get rid off from this problem and it requires not any software.

Step 1 : Press Win+R key and Run window will appear. Type “msconfig” without quotes and hit OK.



Step 2 : Go to startup tab and uncheck irrelevant and unnecessary applications from here.



Step 3 : Now simply click Apply,OK and new dialogue Box will open with two options.
“Restart” and “Exit without restart”
choose as per your wish. And now you are done.



Enjoy your system with better performance. :D
