Hi there!

Thank you for installing One Click Shutdown and trying it out. Here you will find more information and help for One Click Shutdown.

As you might have noticed, One Click Shutdown is an extremely simple program. In fact it is so simple that we thought you wouldn’t actually need a help file at all. But just to be on the safe side we wrote one anyway. Because we are nice guys and want to help you.

Before we start you might want to check out the One Click Shutdown 2 seconds tutorial. Maybe that will already be enough to get you started. Otherwise, let’s get rolling…

One Click Shutdown helps you to shutdown your computer.

How does it work?

It is extremely simple. After downloading and installing One Click Shutdown you will find an icon of One Click Shutdown on your desktop. It looks like this:

All you have to do to shutdown your computer is to double click on on the icon and your computer will instantly shutdown.

That’s pretty cool, isn’t it? But wait, there is more …

How to shutdown with a single click

Instead of double clicking the icon on your desktop like you would any other program you could simplify the process of going to the desktop and double clicking it to a single click. Yeah, you read right. You can actually shutdown your computer with a single click. And One Click Shutdown will help you do that.

So how do you go about it? Simple. Assuming you are using a desktop Windows operating system like Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, or Windows Vista/XP you can create a shortcut on the taskbar to have the icon accessible at any time. And an icon on the taskbar will be executed with a single click.

Ok,ok, just tell me how I should do that? Well, there are many ways to do it.

The simplest way is to hold the ALT-key down while dragging the One Click Shutdown icon into the taskbar. This will make One Click Shutdown pinned to it and accessible with a single click at any time.

Another possibilty is the Mircosoft official way to add an icon to the taskbar. It’s not the simplest way but it works, too.

There are other ways as well, simply google for “make shortcut in taskbar” and you will get hundreds if not thousands of tutorials.

That’s it for the help file. One Click Shutdown is really simple to use. We wish you happy one-click shutdowning.
