How to shutdown WinXP

[qlit]

I want to shutdown WinXP.
In win9x and WinNT is this done by ExitWindowsEx in the user32.dll but this doesn't work in WinXP.

Try some of the stuff mentioned here or here.
They talk about ExitWindowsEx but go on from there to other methods that work with Windows 2000. If it works with Windows 2000, it might work with XP.

Try this VI. It uses the ExitWindowsEx, but passing value "PowerOff" instead of "Shutdown". This completely powers off the PC. It works fine on W2K.
