Here you go, from Brink's tutorial, just below Step 13.....

2. Type C:\Windows\System32\shutdown -s -t 0 -f into the command prompt, and press Enter to shut down Windows.

Thank you!

The layman's way is to push the power button not too short (sleep) and not too long (reboot) but in the Goldilock's middle (just right).
