SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME is a precompiler macro, not a string.  The actual string 
value is "SeShutdownPrivilege".  To use SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME, you need to get 
rid of the quotation marks, ie:

    LookupPrivilegeValue(NULL, SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME, &luid);

You need to use OpenThreadToken() and/or OpenProcessToken() to get the 
required access token.  I suggest you go to http://www.deja.com and search 
through the newsgroup archives.  Examples of using AdjustTokenPrivileges() 
have been posted many times before.
