I use a shutdown utility often. Here's a free one: http://www.systernals.com/ntw2k/freeware/psshutdown.shtml 
.

I have that program in my path and a bat file named rebootnow.bat in the path as 
well. The bat file is only one line: 

psshutdown -t 0 -f -r -l

To shutdown without reboot omit the "-r".

I also use their pskill tool a lot as well for IE and OE which seem to have lives 
of their own.

killie.bat:         pskill IEXPLORE
killoe.bat:        pskill msimn
