shutdown.exe from the Resource Kit is my shutdown utility of choice.

Hi

One downside sometimes with the shutdown.exe that comes with the Resource Kit
and WinXP, on a lot of computers you end up with "It is now safe to turn off
your computer" and you will need to use the power button to power off...

And one of the downsides to XP and 2000 is the "it is safe to shut down"
screen. I miss the NT one with the restart option, although it was a bit
annoying to bump the spacebar when you were reaching for the power button.
