Even in Windows 7 it's kind of a pain if one is using shortcut keys.
shutdown – press the win key, then press the → key once and finally enter. (on xp it was win key + U twice)
restart – press the win key, then press the → key 2 times and finally R. (on xp it was win key + U then R)
However, at least locking is easy (hold win key and press L).
If one is not locking out, easier to just go to the start menu to shut down.
edit: mixed up locking and logout shortcuts. Also press → twice and not 3 times for restart, mea culpa.

- hayksaakian 14y agoI thought it was just windows right enter? Way easier than xp ( I worked in a computer lab)
- yareally 14y agoI've seen reports of multiple methods to shut down on xp so that may work as well.

(I just accidentally restarted my computer trying this :-)) > However, at least logout is easy (hold win key and press L). win+L locks the computer. To log off, you need to press the win key, then press the → key twice and finally L.
- yareally 14y agoThanks, I should have known log out versus lock. 4am here and not sure why am I still up. Hopefully you didn't have anything important open that was not saved,
