在Windows NT下，你能強制本地或遠程機器定時關閉。這段代碼將告訴你怎么做。你能指定系統關閉前的等待時間（0代表立即關閉），關閉進程的優先級（決定是否允許保存未完成的工作）和機器是否要重新啟動。
　　開始一個新的Project，加入一個module，然后加入一下代碼：

　　為了試驗一次shutdown，在窗體上放兩個Command按鈕和一個Text，然后粘貼一下代碼。注意，你必須在運行前保存你的工作，因為Shutdown也將關閉VB且不會給你任何有關保存的詢問！
　　點擊Command1，它根據Text里的值開始一次定時關機。要終止Shutdown，點Command2。

Private Sub Command1_Click()
　　If (MsgBox("你確定要強制定時關機嗎？", vbYesNo Or vbQuestion) = vbYes) Then
　　NTForceTimedShutdown CLng(Text1.Text), "系統將在" & Text1.Text & "秒后關閉..."
End If
