A non api way.

Shell "shutdown -s -t 00" 'shutdown
 
Shell "shutdown -r -t 00" 'restart
 
Shell "-a" 'abort

the -t means the time before the shutdown or restart so you can change the 00 to say 20 which will show a message box warning you that it will shutdown in 20 seconds or whatever amount you set.

casey.

you have to locate the file. if it's here, call it like this:

shell "c:\windows\system32\tsshutdn.exe "
