In terms of keyboard shortcuts (Assuming you're wanting to say, "Press [this] to do something cool!" User presses, and computer shuts down), there is no such default shortcut to completely turn off the computer; put it in standby or hibernation mode; or restart (Except for the power button, which on some computers, may achieve the desired effect. Power buttons can be, and sometimes are, designed differently for different company's computers.)

Why is my start menu missing on computer?

Hope this is what you are looking for. My customers get very frustrated when the menu goes for a bunk so First one is easy to solve. I've seen this happen when the menu suddenly become invisible because it has been pushed down too far. The menu is adjustable and it can be accidently adjusted. Try this first: move your mouse to the bottom of the screen - the very bottom. Sometimes the arrow key will change to double headed cursor. This means the menu has been squished down. While the cursor has the double arrows, hold the left mouse button down and drag up slowly. Drag until you see your missing menu bar then let go. I find just shutting the computer off, using the off button on the case and then turning it back on again normally resolves the problem if the first trick doesn't work. To turn off your computer, hold the off button in for about 10 seconds and it should power down the computer. When windows comes back up, the menu should be back to normal. I generally don't recommend people use the off bottom like this, but sometimes you can't get around it. If these steps don't work you may have a virus or parasite (similar but not quite the same). Run a thorough virus scan and see if it catches anything. Also get a piece of software like Spybot's Search and Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html install it and run it. It will take awhile but if anything is there, it will find and eliminate it. Try these steps before resorting to a complete reinstallation of your OS. Hopefully one of them will work.
