How do I tell Windows to shutdown?
Author
Is there an API funtion to make Windows shutdown? It''s for the big "Shutdown" button on my shell replacement. Thanks.
Take a look on MSDN for ExitWindowsEx. You'll likely want to use the flag EWX_SHUTDOWN (there are also flags for reboot, power off, log off, force application terminate)

Yeah, ExitWindowsEx() should do the trick.
The first argument can be either EWX_POWEROFF to shut down and power off or EWX_SHUTDOWN to shutdown to a state where it''s safe to switch the computer off. You can also use this routine to log users off and reboot the machine. Look up the documentation in MSDN...
