Restarting XP in remote desktop?

[DellAxim]

If I'm logged onto windows XP via remote desktop from somewhere else...is there a way to restart the computer? The usual "turn off computer" button in the start menu turns into a "disconnect" button in remote desktop...

 

[swatbat]

hit the start button then run and type shutdown.exe -r

If you want to know the extra options you have open up a command prompt(cmd from the run prompt) and type shutdown. It will list the switches you can use.

I shouldn't make alternative suggestions, but unless you use something like vnc or the like the solution above is probably it.

I open run and type:

shutdown -r -f -t 00 (restarts)
shutdown -s -f -t 00 (shuts down)

If you open up command prompt and just type in "shutdown" you'll get all the different switches that are available to you.

**Edit**

I went back and actually read the replies, so now I know should have just agreed with swatbat. DOH!!

Start -> Settings -> Windows Security -> Restart
Taskmgr -> restart
Shutdown -r -t 0

All work from a remote session
