Thanks for the heads up, on this one!
The easy way:
try this: Alt+f4(more times if other programs are still running) and hit enter.
windows key + D
then press alt + f4
after using the arrows key to select action press enter
Ah!..I learned this when I started my internship.
Let me give you some advanced(this works if you have machines has press ctrl+alt+del to login option set — most of the corporates will have it).
* Press ctrl+alt+del
* press “S” — this makes you to select “shutdown” option in ctrl+alt+del screen; no worry, it will not be shutdown right away
* Now based on your choice, press “s”(for shutdown) or “R”(for restart) or “H”(for hibernate) and press enter
If you want to shutdown/restart a system to which you connected through RDP, then use ctrl+alt+end instead of ctrl+alt+del in first step of above process.
