> How can I restart windows XP from my Program?

This has been discussed many times before.

// For example, try this function, with argument mode = 1:
void SystemShutDown( int mode )
{
   HANDLE hToken;
   TOKEN_PRIVILEGES tkp;

   AnsiString error;

   // Get a token for this process.
   if ( !OpenProcessToken( GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | 
TOKEN_QUERY, &hToken ) )
      error = "OpenProcessToken";

   // Get the LUID for the shutdown privilege.
   LookupPrivilegeValue( NULL, SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME, &tkp.Privileges[0].Luid );
   tkp.PrivilegeCount = 1;  // one privilege to set
   tkp.Privileges[0].Attributes = SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED;

   // Get the shutdown privilege for this process.
   AdjustTokenPrivileges( hToken, FALSE, &tkp, 0, (PTOKEN_PRIVILEGES)NULL, 
0 );

   // Cannot test the return value of AdjustTokenPrivileges.
   if ( GetLastError() != ERROR_SUCCESS )
      error = "AdjustTokenPrivileges";

   switch( mode )
   {
      // 0 = Forcefully close apps, shutdown and leave system at shutoff 
point
      case 0:   if ( !ExitWindowsEx( EWX_SHUTDOWN | EWX_FORCE, 0 ) )
                   error = "ExitWindowsEx";
                break;

      // 1 = Forcefully close apps, shutdown and reboot
      case 1:   if ( !ExitWindowsEx( EWX_REBOOT | EWX_FORCE, 0 ) )
                   error = "ExitWindowsEx";
                break;

      // 2 = Forcefully close apps, and logoff
      case 2:   if ( !ExitWindowsEx( EWX_LOGOFF | EWX_FORCE, 0 ) )
                   error = "ExitWindowsEx";
                break;

      // 3 = Forcefully close apps, shutdown and poweroff
      case 3:   if ( !ExitWindowsEx( EWX_POWEROFF | EWX_FORCE, 0 ) )
                   error = "ExitWindowsEx";
                break;
   }
}

Alternatively, you can call shutdown command:

   system( "shutdown -r -f -t 03" )
or:
   system( "shutdown -s -t 00" )
... but look at arguments for meanings (restart, logoff, shutdown ,...).
