Rocco,

From http://www.robvanderwoude.com , Please find the following FAQ - Shutdown/Restart - options.

I started to question whether or not you needed to use AutoIT. [Smile]
  • Win31* ECHO G=FFFF:0000 ¦ DEBUG Popup Task Manager, sometimes reboot
  • Win9* RUNDLL USER.EXE,ExitWindows Shutdown (3)
  • Win9* RUNDLL USER.EXE,ExitWindowsExec Win95: various results, usualy fast shutdown (and lock PC), sometimes restart Windows, sometimes reboot.
  • Win98: Restart Windows, sometimes reboot.
  • Win9* RUNDLL SHELL.DLL,RestartDialog "System Settings Change, Do you want to restart your computer now?" dialog
  • Win98/ME RUNDLL32 SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx n Where n can be any combination (sum) of the following numbers: (4)
    0 Logoff
    1 Shutdown
    2 Reboot
    4 Force
    8 Poweroff (if supported by the hardware)
Notes:
  • 3 Thanks for Bill James and Tom Lavedas, for the information on RUNDLL.
    Find more RUNDLL examples I collected on my RUNDLL page.
  • 4 See article Q234216 in the Microsoft Knowledge base for more information.
    Thanks for Alec Soroudi for pointing out this information.
    Windows NT also has a RUNONCE.EXE, but I am not sure what its purpose is -- RUNONCE.EXE -q does not shut down NT.
HTH,
- Kent
