It's not really a good thing but it won't hurt generally. If you have a document open you will probably lose your work unless you saved it along the way. Windows may require some maintenance after a "cold" shutdown and restart.

A forced shut down isn't a good thing. It can affect your programs later on. Granted at times it is necessary. But if you're going to do it. Do it as few times as humanly possible.

It is bad for Windows...there might still be files open. If those files are not let to finish unloading, they can become corrupt.

it does not affect the OS system files,but it will force applications to quit even if they have a job to do...in this case application files may become corrupt,so u will not be able to use them anymore.
