Does anyone know if there is a way to do a cold reboot from a program (VC++ 6) in Windows 2000? I can't use the Windows API function, ExitWindowsEx(), as there is a process running on the PC that causes a blue-screen if it is killed. Since this process can hang sometimes I needed to do a forced reboot, which caused the blue-screen. I essentially need some function that reboots the computer immediately as if the reset button was pressed.

Thanks.
