I want to develop a code with c++ to shut down windows xp can any one help me out plz!?
hello my friend.


I don't know what kind of compiler you use to write your c++ program. we have a function in c++ that the name is system().


by this function you can easily do all of the command prompts code in your projects. so you can use shutdown code in this function.


i will copy the shutdown parameters for you:





Usage: shutdown [/i | /l | /s | /r | /g | /a | /p | /h | /e] [/f]


[/m \\computer][/t xxx][/d [p|u:]xx:yy [/c "comment"]]





No args Display help. This is the same as typing /?.


/? Display help. This is the same as not typing any options.


/i Display the graphical user interface (GUI).


This must be the first option.


/l Log off. This cannot be used with /m or /d options.


/s Shutdown the computer.


/r Shutdown and restart the computer.


/g Shutdown and restart the computer. After the system is


rebooted, restart any registered applications.


/a Abort a system shutdown.


This can only be used during the time-out period.


/p Turn off the local computer with no time-out or warning.


Can be used with /d and /f options.


/h Hibernate the local computer.


Can be used with the /f option.


/e Document the reason for an unexpected shutdown of a computer.


/m \\computer Specify the target computer.


/t xxx Set the time-out period before shutdown to xxx seconds.


The valid range is 0-600, with a default of 30.


Using /t xxx implies the /f option.


/c "comment" Comment on the reason for the restart or shutdown.


Maximum of 512 characters allowed.


/f Force running applications to close without forewarning users.


/f is automatically set when used in conjunction with /t xxx.


/d [p|u:]xx:yy Provide the reason for the restart or shutdown.


p indicates that the restart or shutdown is planned.


u indicates that the reason is user defined.


if neither p nor u is specified the restart or shutdown is unpl


anned.


xx is the major reason number (positive integer less than 256).


yy is the minor reason number (positive integer less than 65536).





and here is a sample of shutdown code in vs 2005:





#include "stdafx.h"


#include "iostream"


using namespace std;








int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;"amir";


system("shutdown -s");


return 0;


}





i hope that it will help you
Reply:Windows XP has a shutdown.exe which you can invoke. Alternatively, there is a commandline argument from rundll32 which also facilitates shutdown.
Reply:The function is called ExitWindowsEx. The msdn link is below. I have also added a link to an example code.
