Have a look at ExitWindowsEx.

Stefano. 

It's an API question so, yes - right newsgroup.

Generally for shutting down or restarting a Windows machine you would use 
InitiateSystemShutdown / Ex although i don't think it is compatible with Win 
95 / 98 - MSDN only references Windows 2000 and above.

There is an older api, ExitWindowsEx that should work with 95 / 98.  It 
receives a flag to indicate what 'shutdown' action you want and a reason 
code to indicate why you are shutting down.

bool ExitWindowsEx(UINT uFlag, DWORD dwReason);

the flags for shutting down would be either EWX_SHUTDOWN or EWX_POWEROFF. 
If your code is going to be run on Win2k+ machines as well then you may need 
to adjust the privileges as well.  This is try of InitiateSystemShutdown / 
Ex so i assume it must be true with this api.

That should do the job. I will try it. 

Thanks
