Script Problem in VB

[Hellbreather]

I want to make myself a program that will shut down my computer but when I try the command it doesn't work does anyone know the command that shut downs the computer?
(I need it to make a quicker version of the shutdown process)

ExitWindowsEx (http://www.mentalis.org/apilist/ExitWindowsEx.shtml) shuts down the computer, but as far as I know it's equivalent to shutting it down from the start menu so I don't see how you can use it for a faster shutdown.

If you call on the shutdown.exe script under the system32 folder for windows, that might make it a little faster. I know that in Turing, with the Sys.Exec command, I could make the computer force a shutdown by using the -F parameter.

I don't know if there is a similar commmand in VB, I didn't learn that much yet..

BTW - the shutdown.exe command is not available in windows 2000. It's only for windows xp
