'One or more of the following flags specifying how to shut down or reboot the computer:

'EWX_FORCE = 4
'Force any applications to quit instead of prompting the user to close them.

'EWX_LOGOFF = 0
'Log off the network.

'EWX_POWEROFF = 8
'Shut down the system and, if possible, turn the computer off.

'EWX_REBOOT = 2
'Perform a full reboot of the system.

'EWX_SHUTDOWN = 1
'Shut down the system.

'dwReserved
'Reserved for future versions of Windows. Always set to 0.

'Example:

' Reboot the computer, forcing any open programs to close
Dim RetVal As Long  ' return value
