ExitWindowsEx( EWX_SHUTDOWN, 0 ).

Check out the other flags that this function uses as well because I am just giving you an example, which might not always apply to your case.

You can also check InitiateSystemShutdownEx.

To shutdown another PC, use InitiateSystemShutdownEx(), but this only works for Win2k/XP PCs. You can't shutdown a remote Win9x/ME system without writing a server that runs on that machine and communicating with the program over the network.

Hope this helps,

Hi, Everyone
I want to know that what is the difference between DLL and LIB file.
Or There is similarity between DLL and LIB file.
Also tell me Dynamic and static DLL.

DLL is for 'Dynamic link library'. This means that it contains executable code (!!) that can be loaded at run time. So, you don't have to include your dll in your project when compiling.
The lib is in fact a 'static link library'. This means it contains functions (!!) that can be loaded at linkage. So, you need to include your library in the project when compiling your program.

For the static library, the functions within the library will be 'pasted' in your own program so you don't need the library with your executable. For the dll, when you execute your program, it will search for the dll, and execute code from within the dll. So you need to provide the dll with your executable!

BTW, I never heard about static dll. Confused | :confused:

Hope this helps

I think by dynamic and static dll, he meant dynamically or statically linking to a dll.
I don't think there is any such thing as a dynamic or static dll.

In dynamic linking to a dll, you don't require the lib file, whereas in static linking you require the lib file.
