When logged into WinXP with a remote desktop connection there is no GUI option to shutdown the system. However you can use shutdown -r on the command prompt to reboot the machine.
A little System Shutdown window pops up and gives you 30 seconds to close your apps before the shutdown happens. Very handy.
Also available are:
- shutdown: to just shutdown
- shutdown -r: reboots the system
- shutdown -i: brings up a shutdown GUI window
- shutdown -l: to log off
