Click the Start button, click Turn Off Computer, then click Turn Off.

I use Shutdown & Reboot shortcuts that I have on my desktop.

Shutdown & Reboot Shortcuts

Desktop Shutdown Shortcut
Right click the desktop | Click New | Click Shortcut | Create Shortcut
Wizard opens | Type or paste: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 00 |
Click Next | Type a name like: SHUTDOWN | Click Finish | Right click the new
shortcut | Make sure Start in has: %windir%

Desktop Reboot Shortcut
Right click the desktop | Click New | Click Shortcut | Create Shortcut
Wizard opens | Type or paste: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00 |
Click Next | Type a name like: REBOOT | Click Finish | Right click the new
shortcut | Make sure Start in has: %windir%

Customize the icons
Right click each shortcut | Properties | Shortcut tab | Change Icon button

You can assign a Shortcut key...

1. Locate the program file (.exe) or the program's shortcut icon.
Right-click the program file or shortcut, and then click Properties.

2. Click the Shortcut tab.

3. With the cursor in the Shortcut key box, select the keyboard key you
want to use in combination with CTRL+ALT. Shortcut keys automatically start
with CTRL+ALT. The Shortcut key box will display None until you select the
key and then the box will display Ctrl+Alt+the key you selected. You cannot
use the ESC, ENTER, TAB, SPACEBAR, PRINT SCREEN, SHIFT, or BACKSPACE keys.

Note
Once you assign a shortcut key combination for a specific program, you will
not be able to use that key combination with other programs.

If you forget the key combination for your shortcut, you can follow steps 1
& 2 and review your shortcut keys.

Shortcut tab
Lists the shortcut name, target information, and shortcut key. Allows you to
choose the way the item is displayed when you open the shortcut: in a
standard window, a full screen (maximized), or as a button on the taskbar
(minimized). Also allows you to view the shortcut's target, change the icon
for the shortcut, and open a shortcut as a different user.
