The following is from MSDN : BOOL WINAPI InitiateSystemShutdown( __in_opt LPTSTR lpMachineName, __in_opt LPTSTR lpMessage, __in DWORD dwTimeout, __in BOOL bForceAppsClosed, __in BOOL bRebootAfterShutdown ); Initiates a shutdown and optional restart of the specified computer. To record a reason for the shutdown in the event log, call the InitiateSystemShutdownEx function. However, note the following : To shut down the local computer, the calling thread must have the SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME privilege. To tweak privileges, use OpenProcessToken(), LookupPrivilegeValue(), AdjustTokenPrivileges(). Best of luck, Bio.
