Big shutdown button on desktop

Hi,

Is it possible to have a big shutdown button on the desktop itself? Basically what i want is a button (starter) on the desktop which just requires to be double clicked and shut downs my little daughters laptop.

Anyone here who can help me with this?
Many thanks in advance!

MSI GE70-2PE*Quad core Intel Core i7-4710HQ*Kingston 16 GB RAM*Intel 4th Gen. Integr. GPU/NVidia GeForce GTX860M*Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2200/Intel Wireless 3160*128 GiB SSD/1 TB HDD

Re: Big shutdown button on desktop

You could put an Action Button on a Panel, with only Shut Down selected.  If you do, I'd suggest that you include confirmation to give you 30 seconds to back out if it gets clicked by mistake.  Depending on your daughter's age, this might be a little less tempting than an icon on the desktop itself.
