windows shutdown

Does anyone know how to shutdown windows (NT) from code?

Code:

Hope this helps!

Code:

---

Private Declare Function ExitWindowsEx Lib "user32" (ByVal uFlags As Long, ByVal dwReserved As Long) As Long
Private Const EWX_POWEROFF = &H8

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    ExitWindowsEx EWX_POWEROFF, 0
End Sub

Megatron, that doesn't work in NT. :rolleyes: (Clickable smily)
