    shutdown

    Hi,

    have a look here:

    http://www.computer-mentors.co.uk/ww...sages/592.html

    and here:

    http://www.computer-mentors.co.uk/wwwboard/c/

    i have pasted the code below:

    you can use
    BOOL ExitWindowEx(UINT uOptions, DWORD dwRes)
    uOptions are
    EWX_FORCE
    EWX_LOGOFF
    EWX_POWEROFF
    EWX_REBOOT
    EWX_SHUTDOWN
    for more info refer to MSDN etc.
    or
    BOOL ExitWindows()
    e.g
    BOOL bok = ExitWindows(0,0)

    to abort shutdown process use
    BOOL AbortSystemShutdown(LPCTSTR pMachine)
    e.g
    BOOL bok = AbortSystemShutdown(0)


    If this doesnt work try out freecode.com

    Set all i,o registers to 0 and call dosx86() with those IO values.

    where i,o are unions. (union REGS i,o)
