To use command prompt in Windows Vista and Windows Xp open run box (winlogo+r) and type “cmd” without quotes. commands are:

“shutdown -s” to shutdown windows
“shutdown -r” to restart windows
“shutdown -l” to log off
“shutdown -a” to override shutting down process

After inserting the command hit enter. A pop up dialog will appear informing you that windows is about to shutdown/restart/logoff in 30 seconds. You are done.

Thanks Elite, there are also 3 other parameters you could add :)

-t xx [replace xx with number so it becomes number of seconds till computer shutsdown]
-c "[COMMENT]" [adds a message to the shutdown warning]
-m \\[ COMPUTER NAME ] [sends the shutdown command to a network computer]
