I mispoke. I see the Shutdown.exe but how about a restart???
Thanks
Thanks
start -->run shutdown -r
or just press
CTRL-ALT-END
and that simulates control alt delete so now you can press the actual SHUTDOWN button and have all yoru choices
Shutdown
Restart
Logoff

Shutdown
Restart
Logoff
To be clear, you need to be in the Remote Desktop window when you press CTRL - ALT - END.
This command sends control alt delete to the remote desktop computer and you will then see the Windows Security dialogue box for the remote session.
When you press the Shutdown button you have the following options:
Log off <current user>
Shut down
Restart
Stand by (if configured)
Hibernate (if configured)
Disconnect
hope that helps!
cheers

Alternatively in Remote Desktop you'll have a button on the Start Menu called 'Windows Security'
If you click on the Windows Security button you should be given the option to restart.
( or as kkohl says you can use CTRL + ALT + END )

You can alternatively use a shutdown utility such as Poweroff.exe

In Windows XP, restoring the shortcut is amazingly easy. Right-click on the Desktop and choose New | Shortcut from the pop-up menu. Browse to the file C:\Windows\ System32\Shutdown.exe, click Next, name the shortcut, and click Finish. Now right-click on the new shortcut and choose Properties. In the Target box, append the command line switch -l (to log off), -s (to shut down), or -r (to reboot).
If you also add the switch –t xx (where xx is a number of seconds), Shutdown.exe will display a warning and count down the specified number of seconds before activating. You can specify a comment to be displayed with the warning by adding the switch -c "Your text". The countdown behavior is particularly useful if the shutdown program is launched through the Scheduled Tasks applet. For example, a library computer might be scheduled to shut down 10 minutes before closing, with a 60-second warning. Once the countdown has begun, the only way to stop it is to launch the program again with the -a (for abort) switch on its command line.
Shutdown.exe is included with Windows XP, and you can add it to Windows NT 4.0 or 2000 via the corresponding Resource Kit.
