Quick question (I am a woman after all :P). Does this shortcut bring up the options to log off, shut down or restart, or does it just completely shut ya pc off? oh and is it harmful to compy at all?

No, it doesn't harm your computer. It's like going to Start and then go to the shutdown button works the same. So no computer harming will be done

I don't know, I used this at my training period at a school. They used Windows 98 over there, just for the compability with Autocad 2000, and users were not allowed to do anything else but Autocad and login on/off + shutting down.

Because of the "-t 01", the things you've done won't get saved (eh, when Windows shuts down, it saves stuff), this part won't happen when using such a button.
