Shuting Down XP from within a Windows Form Application

[Guest]

Hi

I'm fairly new to the .NET programming environment. I am writting an Windows Form application that needs to shutdown the PC that is running the application. What is the proper way to do this

Please refer me to documentation that can explain how .NET applications can control the PC on which they are running
One of the things I would like to do is limit the access to XP features, for example, not allowing the user to access Control Panel, once my application is started.

Thanks in advance

There is no managed way to do that (except WMI), but I prefer p/invoke:
