Exiting Command Shell Configuration

Some questions about this configuration as follows
(Command Shell + MinLogon):
1. How does one exit this environment? Typing "exit"
just restarts the command prompt (cmd.exe). Also, I think
it is dangerous to just turn the system off, since the OS
might be writing files to the registry/logs.

2. How does one restart/reboot within this environment?
If we want to make changes with EWF, we must reboot or
shut down this system.

3. I can switch between CMD.EXE (command shell) and the
Windows environment by pressing ALT + TAB. However even
though I added the component "Task Manager", I cannot get
the task manager to start when I press the key CTRL + ALT
+ DEL. Is there another way to start task manager?

Thanks.

You can use shutdown.exe or you can write your own code to shutdown windows.

Shutdown.exe has a -r switch for restarting.

You can run it from the command line.
 
I want to thank Slobodan Brcin and Gordon Smith for their
valuable inputs. fba -reboot works well. Now, I will
try "shutdown.exe".

Again, thanks for the help!
