==================================
So, this is a summary of shortcuts working on my computer (Win 98 SE) :

"Restart" shortcut (warm reboot - Windows restart only) :
C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindowsExec

"Reboot" shortcut (cold reboot - restart complete) :
C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE shell32,SHExitWindowsEx 2

"Shutdown" shortcut :
C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindows

Thanks for help :)))
