[How to] Shutdown computer using notepad

Notepad is Text-only editor present in Microsoft operating system.  Notepad files are usually saved with .txt extension but we can change extension according to our use.  Notepad doesn’t have the ability to treat unix- or Mac- style text. So, if we paste some words with Unix or Mac style it cannot display it correctly.

Notepad can be used in various steps of programming. It can also be used to generate Batch files. Files which contain a set of command to be executed by command interpreter is called Batch file.

Today, I am going to show you how to develop a Batch file to shutdown a computer using notepad.
