I don't think Windows2000 calls any special Shutdown file - instead is passes some arguements to files like svchost, dllhost etc - causing all these processes to shut down one by one and then finally shut windows down. If you'd stated which language you're using to code, it'd have been a lot easier to reply to your query. On the other hand, Windows XP provides you with a file called Shutdown.exe which enables you to shut your system down.

But you mentioned that you want this action to happen through a software which you're writing - it's extremely unwise to call or depend on external processes to perform important system tasks like this. Your program should be able to handle this itself. Here are a few links that'd help you with the coding:

 

1. VB.NET Source Code & Application Demonstrating Windows Shutdown Process

2. Shutdown - an alternative to Windows Shutdown dialog

3. A tool to perform automatic shutdown, log off or restart action

4. Remote Shutdown or Reboot with Telnet and C#

 

I've checked all the source codes on these links and they all work fine. There are samples in both VB.NET and C#.NET - and should solve your shutdown problems rightaway.

 

Happy Coding !

In short, you have to call several windows APIs.
