Question Adding a Command to a shortcut?

Running Win Vista Home Premium SP1. Trying to create a shortcut to shutdown the computer.

Instructions: In the Create Shortcut dialog, "rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation"...this works for locking down the desktop.

Further instructions: "You can repeat this exact process to create shortcuts to shutdown. In order to create a shortcut to shutdown, you can use the following command: shutdown -s -t 01."

How would this be written for it to work?

Here's what I did...rundll32.exe user32.dll,ShutdownWorkStation /shutdown -s -t 01...this gives an error stating "missing entry: Shutdown".

Also tried rundll32.exe user32.dll,ShutdownWorkStation -shutdown -s -t 01 which give the same missing entry message.

Just add Shutdown to new shortcut, no need for all that other "stuff" mentioned in the instructions.
