Pretty cool I'll try that one time when I don't have 5 programs running. (witch I normaly do)
Oh and to use: ExitWindowsEx(EWX_POWEROFF, SHTDN_REASON_MINOR_OTHER);
Do you need the include the windows.h file to your program?

Most of the time (It won't if it's disabled on the computer) this will shut off the computer:
| CODE |
| ExitWindowsEx(EWX_POWEROFF, SHTDN_REASON_MINOR_OTHER); |
Just thought you might be interested to know.

Another way is to include windows.h and use
| CODE |
//...
system("shutdown -t 5");
// you can add -r to restart, and the 5 after t is how many seconds it waits. There are also a couple other commands if you type 'shutdown /?' in dos.
//... |
**EDIT: Oh yeah, and I don't think that this can be disabled either (unless after it pops up, you type 'shutdown -a' to abort it)

I think you could also use InitiateSystemShutdown() . Never tried it though.

TheHawgMaster, that's interesting to know. However, it's not very useful to me.

system("halt"); //shutdown
system("reboot"); //reboot
