I think this was posted a while ago but this is how I shutdown windows
from an application without any user inaction. There is an undocumented
windows function called ExitWindows(). First, you need to forward reference
it:

extern void FAR PASCAL ExitWindows (int, int);

Then call it when you want, like so:

   ExitWindows (NULL, NULL);

I don't know what the parameters mean.  The only danger with this is that if
any applications have not saved their data, it will be lost.  I only use this
function in my test cases, having any easy way to quit windows.  Hope this
helps.
