How to I write a batch file to shutdown/reboot?

[ArcticFox]

What are the commands that I need to put into a batch file in order to get it to shut down my PC? Or how about rebooting it?

Also, is there a site that has other stuff you can do with batch files?

Cool, but a fellow hacker gave me these snippets of code:

For 95/98/ME:
START C:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindowsexec

For XP:
shutdown -r -c "Hahahah you got pwned by da Fox! Sucka!"

The one for XP should be the same for 2000, maybe not though.
Although, I am obligated to give points to VHockey for his nicely-sized tutorial on the subject.
