Windows 8 Tip - Shut Down

One of the most annoying thing of Windows 8 on a PC is that shutting down your computer is a very long procedure.

However, there is a very quick way to do it.

ALT + F4

Press this keyboard short-cut when you are in the desktop mode and a dialog pops up.

There are other techniques to solve the problem but this is good enough for me and does not require any special configuration.

Hope this helps you.
