Why each option
The shutdown -i switch opens the Remote Shutdown Dialog, a graphical interface that allows a technician to schedule or perform a shutdown on a remote PC. All other listed switches are non-GUI command-line options.
shutdown -a aborts a currently scheduled or pending shutdown countdown; it does not open any GUI.
shutdown -f forcefully closes running applications without prompting users before shutting down; it is a command-line-only flag.
shutdown -g restarts the computer and then restarts any registered applications after reboot; it produces no GUI.
The shutdown -i flag launches the Remote Shutdown Dialog GUI, which lets the technician specify a remote computer name, choose shutdown or restart, set a delay, and add a comment - all within a graphical window rather than the command line.
