Shutdown Windows XP

[theGRL]

Does anybody know how to issue a shutdown command via code in Windows XP? The old way (like in the VB-World demo) does not work.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what the demo uses, but XP is an NT based system so you will have to adjust tokens in order to shutdown. It's not very difficult. You can see the whole code here:

There is an excelent article about this at msdn.microsoft.com its exactly the same as windows 98 but with an extra parameter

I found it for you:

msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/sysinfo/shutdown_3ago.asp?frame=true
