Automating restart of PC

I'm using VB2003 running on Windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4 and
Windows XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 2 PCs.

I understand the Windows API offers a way for the program to reboot the
pc w/o asking me any questions. Just shut it down and restart it. Can
someone tell me how to do this? Thanks.

Are you supposed to run this from the VB program like you'd launch a dos
program? There's not a system.something to do this? Don't get me wrong
if it works it's ok with me. I'll look into it.
