memorable - isn't that for a remote system running Terminal Services? Does that work locally?

joepc, if the above doesn't work, type shutdown /? for the syntax and options.

This will immediately shutdown all programs and services and restart the computer: %windir%\System32\SHUTDOWN.exe -r -t 00 -f

This will immediately shutdown all programs and services and SHUTDOWN the computer: %windir%\System32\SHUTDOWN.exe -s -t 00 -f

Cheers,
