A while ago I wrote a program that does exactly what you want.

I thought about doing it with an icon, but icons don't get mouse
messages.

I wrote a program that puts up a small, borderless window that
contains a button that says "Exit Windows".  When you press the
button, it calls ExitWindows();.

Use the right mouse button to drag the button to the position you
like on the screen.  The position of the button is saved in WIN.INI

Title of the button can be set in [ExitButton] section of WIN.INI

It is small, so I'll just post it (I don't have FTP access anyway).

uudecode the following:

begin 644 exit.exe
