I have created a password program for when windows starts up just practising my VB.
I was wondering how I would go about re-booting the machine if the user types in the wrong password more than say, 3 times?
Thanks

I know there is an API to bring up the shutdown window....I think there is also one to reboot but I cant find it...must be on my other computer....ill try and get back to you

ExitWindowsEx 2, 1
'If you wish turn off
'ExitWindowsEx 1, 0
