How can I initiate Windows Shutdown in C++??

Hey,

I am just now going back to C++, I used it a long time ago for a multimedia presentation, but for the past few years have used VB for everything, I made a daemon (Ok it is realy a trojan). That would reboot a computer when you connected to port 20. (Good for when my little bro was kicking my butt in a strategy game.) And I used the following VB code. If you include winuser.h, you should be able to call the ExitWindowsEx function. You may have to do something else with NT / 2000 I don't know. Anyways, the following VB code was copied from. vb world.

Public Const EWX_LOGOFF = 0
Public Const EWX_SHUTDOWN = 1
Public Const EWX_REBOOT = 2
Public Const EWX_FORCE = 4
Declare Function ExitWindowsEx Lib "user32" Alias _
"ExitWindowsEx" (ByVal uFlags As Long, ByVal dwReserved _
As Long) As Long
If you wanted to forcefully reboot the computer use the following code:

t& = ExitWindowsEx(EWX_FORCE Or EWX_REBOOT, 0)

I hope that helps some,

Joey
