    One way is, if your using an earlier version of windows (such as 98fe), and you have a compiler for C++, such as the free one on borlands site, then using a system function to open power.com in the commands folder, should work. power.com is not a slow off, its like hitting the master power. Instant off. May want to use a find utility to verify power.com is in the command folder first.

    //Filename:turnOff.cpp
    //Just a programming answer.
    void main()
    {
    system("C:windowscommandpower.com");
    }
