Ah yes, now I see. Have a look at this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897541.aspx and i suggest you find ALL the Sysinternal Tools and grab them as well. The tools are brilliant and essential tools in any Tech or Engineer's software tool kit.

Oh bugger it, look no further. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default.aspx

Learn to use Process Explorer as it is especially useful. Mark made a streaming video tutorial for it and cuts the learning curve down for this tool. http://www.microsoft.com/emea/spotlight/sessionh.aspx?videoid=722

Thanks so much friend

create a schedule task and Run "c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 00"

This works in XP, and the exe also exists in Win2K3, though I haven't had the need to try it on that platform.
