There is a WinAPI that I use to shutdown WinNT, I have not tried it under
w95 but my help files indicate it will work. If you are interested in a
code based solution :

        ExitWindowsEx(EWX_SHUTDOWN or EWX_FORCE, 0);

Parameters 'or'ed together include :
   EWX_LOGOFF     - Shuts down processes and logs user off
   EWX_REBOOT     - Shuts down the restarts the system
   EWX_SHUTDOWN   - Shuts down system

   The following attributes may be combined (OR'd) with above flags

   EWX_POWEROFF  - shuts down system and turns off the power.
   EWX_FORCE     - forces processes to terminate.

I expect that rundll32 makes a call to that function.
