For Windows 95/98 only.

This script has been superseded by ShutDownWindow command. See next post.

Press CTRL
Press Esc
Release CTRL
Wait>1
Send Character/Text>u
Wait>1
Send Character/Text>r
Wait>1
Send Character/Text>y

This example restarts windows. To shutdown, change the r to an s on the
7th line.

Since 7.2 Macro Scheduler has had a ShutDownWindows command which makes this much simpler.
