Re: Programming to force shut down(Windows)
You can run:
shutdown -f -t 10 -s to shutdown a computer running windows, so you could probably just run that as a system command. |

Re: Programming to force shut down(Windows)
better yet, just make a quick batch file and drop it on the desktop...

Re: Programming to force shut down(Windows)
As above, I'd recommend just putting
Code:
shutdown -f -t 10 -s The -f in the command is used to force shutdown (even if other programs aren't responding or try to hang.) The -s bit is the bit that's telling it to shut down and the -t 10 means do it in 10 seconds.
