Does anyone know this shortcut? THanks much!

If your computer is at the desktop and you press Alt+f4 you will get a prompt to select what you want to do next. Use the arrow key from here to select the option to sleep, hibernate, restart, or shutdown.

If you're using windows xp, you can hit the little button that looks like the flying wondows icon. That brings up the menu. Once that's up, hit "u"...and that will select "turn off computer". then just push the over button until the "turn off" selection is highlighted, and push enter.
