rebooting windows

[brjames]

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

This will reboot your computer:

Declare Function ExitWindowsEx Lib "user32" (ByVal uFlags As Long, ByVal dwReserved As Long) As Long


ExitWindowsEx 2, 1

'If you wish turn off
'ExitWindowsEx 1, 0
