Code for restart/shut down PC

[arasten]

I made a program that makes someone think his desktop cleaned up, its just for fun and make me learn a littel bit of codes because i'm still a beginner in programming i'm 16 years old in high school grade 11 so i wanna learn more codes because at school the teacher doesn't give us lots of codes because i'm in IT major so in grade 10 we took A+ and grade 11 we are taking programming, DB, and in grade 12 we'll study networking i know that 3 years aren't enough, but we are not studying the whole major because IT is a big major so every year we study something else to decide which major are we going to study in college and i liked the programming so i wanna learn more to prove my self...anyways here is the program download it and take a look on it. http://www.mediafire.com/?autjb3fznrg

please help me with the restart and shut down PC code and if you can teach me a code that disables the program from task manager that would be nice ^_^

and oh yeah i want the code to be after the msgbox i.e when the you click on start it shows you a msgbox and once you click on "ok" the computer restarts or shuts down...

JUST TO AWARE YOU, YOU WONT BE ABLE TO CLOSE THE PROGRAM BY RIGHT CLICK ON IT AND CLOSE OR CLICKING ON "x" ON THE TOP OF THE FORM...YOU'LL HAVE TO USE TASK MANAGER TO END TASK !

This code Using 'Shell':

Call Shell("Shutdown /s") 'to shutdown

Call Shell("Shutdwon /r") 'to restart

Call Shell("Shutdown /l") 'to logoff

Call Shell("Shutdown /a") 'to Abort

This Code Using 'Managed Code in .NET':

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

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

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Shutdown", "/l") 'to logoff

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Shutdown", "/a") 'to abort

Choose the one as u like..
The code in my post its a standard command...
You can add the function with more argument like described below:
to shutdown remote machine, add the argument ' /m MyRemoteMachineName' or
to make process delay, add the argument ' /t nn' with 'nn' is number of second eg: Call Shell("Shutdown /s /m upstaircomputer /t 30") 'it will shutdown the upstair computer in 30 second
if you want to know another argument, type shutdown /? in command prompt window

hi arasten...
sorry for my post before...its code for vb.net but for vb its not different
this is the code :

Shell "shutdown -r -t 00"   ' for restart
Shell "shutdown -s -t 00"  ' for Shutdown
Shell "shutdown -l -t 00"   ' for log off
Shell "shutdown -a -t 00"  ' for abort

but its only work in xp os..
ok. all for the best
