       How do I shut this thing down?

       It's hard to believe but it took me 5 minutes to figure out how
       to shut down Windows 8. No kidding. Clicking on the Start button
       just brings up the new Start screen. To properly shut down or
       restart Windows 8, you'd have to:

       - Log off, click on the Power button and select either Restart
       or Shutdown
       - Hover over the Start button, click on Settings, go to Power
       and select your options.
       I don't even dare to ask why Microsoft would put the Shutdown
       and Restart options in a menu titled Settings -- it's beyond
       bizarre.
       Solution: Thankfully, you can create a custom shortcuts for
       shutting down, restarting, hibernating, sleeping and locking the
       PC and put them on your Start screen. Right-click on your
       classic desktop, go to New/Shortcut and type in one of the
       following commands:
       ·         Shutdown: shutdown.exe –s –t 00
       ·         Restart: shutdown.exe –r –t 00
       ·         Hibernate: rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll,SetSuspendState
       ·         Sleep: rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0
       ·         Lock: Rundll32.exe User32.dll,LockWorkStation
       Name them accordingly and choose an appropriate icon from
       Windows's default icon library:

       Next, put them in the folder "%appdata%\microsoft\windows\Start
       Menu\Programs\". Go to the Windows 8 Start screen and search for
       each of your shortcuts. The search results should bring up the
       icons you just created. Right click on them and select Pin.
       Voila!
