If you are using remote desktop connection often like I do. Then you have certainly asked yourself how to turn off (aka. shutdown) computer remotely after you no longer use it.
Procedure is very simple you just have to click on start and then type cmd and hit enter.
After this you will see similar window to the following one:
Of course there will be your username or some kind of name.
From here procedure is very simple. Now you only have to write in there shutdown -s and your computer will slowly shutdown. It is very recommended that you shutdown all programs also before using this procedure.
As in my own experience programs like Winamp gave me some hard time afterward.
Here is also nice suggestion to learn more about shutting down command you should write help shutdown this will show you all possible flags that can be used there are also shutting down after certain time interval and so on.
Have a nice reading.
