how to shutdown/restart/standby windows

[tahu191]

how do i make windows either shutdown, restart or go into standby? with vb

windows 2000 and xp both have this nifty file known as Shutdown.exe that's located in the windows\system folder, simply run that process from your vb app:

'Log off:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Shutdown.exe", "-l")

'Restart:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Shutdown.exe", "-r")

'Shutdown:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Shutdown.exe", "-s")

there are other arguements that shutdown.exe can take, i'll let you do the research on those to further customize how ya want it to behave

that's because it makes use of the api calls, and it's nice that it's all in a module for convenience too
