My example below uses the Win32 API call, ExitWindowsEX, to Shutdown, restart, logoff, and force shutdown any windows PC. I did not add any comments, but if there is something that you do not understands then let me know.

Also here's a link to a site with a project that shuts down windows after a given time. This doesn't use the win32 API so may not work on earlier versions of windows.

It's coded at the moment to just shutdown windows. But if you change this line...

 System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Shutdown", "/s")

To this...

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Shutdown", "/r")

It will restart windows.
