    there are a couple of ways to do this. older version of windows had a shortcut for it called exittodos.pif
    xp doesnt have a built-in command for it, but you could easily create a program in vb to shut windows down and call that.
    another option is aftermarket program.

    If you are using remote desktop, you can go to start -> windows security. This will activate the screen that is brought up when you press Ctrl-Alt-Del at the physical computer. From there, you can click shutdown.
