Try shelling the windows shutdown process.
Example:

'--------------------------------------
' Shelling shutdown process
Shell("shutdown.exe -s")
'--------------------------------------
Usage:
shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c
"comment"]
[-d up:xx:yy]

-i Display GUI interface, must be the first
option
-l Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
-s Shutdown the computer
-r Shutdown and restart the computer
-a Abort a system shutdown
-m \\computername Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort
-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds
-c "comment" Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)
-f Forces running applications to close without
warning
-d [p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown
u is the user code
p is a planned shutdown code
xx is the major reason code (positive
integer less than 256)
yy is the minor reason code (positive
integer less than 65536)

The most reliable way would be to use the ExitWindowsEx API via Interop
with the appropriate parameters. You can find all the needed interop
declarations in this library: http://www.mentalis.org/soft/class.qpx?id=7
