No that is not preferable as when the computer is shut down it completely stops all its processes going on and then safely shuts down the computer! where as when we switch the computer off then we might destroy or files and softwares and even the hardware can be damaged ! my advice is to shut it down it will take time but atleast it will be safe ! =)

Can shutting down your computer every day harm it?

It depends on whether you are shutting down via menu or manually. If you are doing through the menu (i.e. Start > Shutdown) then no harm will be done. If you are actually holding down the power button to switch it off, then no harm should be done, unless you switch it off during an important process, which can lead to file corruption. Essentially, if one switches off a computer through menus, one is giving the computer the option to shut all ongoing programs, and then shutdown. Conversely, if one pushes and holds the power button, then one is demanding an instant shutdown, which may or may not lead to file damage.
