You can force a shutdown by doing the Following:
First declare this API function and constant
public Declare Function ExitWindowsEx Lib "user32" (byval uFlags as Long, byval dwReserved as Long) as Long
public Const EWX_SHUTDOWN = 1
Then you can call it by doing this:
Call ExitWindowsEx(EWX_SHUTDOWN, 1) 'shut down the computer

"Re: how to..." just to signal it is not a question, but an answer.
