The Windows shutdown process is very buggy.  It works differently from one
computer to the next.

A small assembly language program that will shutdown, logoff, play sounds, open
and close a CDROM, an entertaining and educational screensaver, and much more is
called WIZMO and can be found at GRC.COM.  (This guy does EVERYTHING in assembly
language, even his own Web server and TCP/IP drivers.)
