ExitWindowsEx ( EWX_LOGOFF, 0 )

possible arguments for ExitWindowsEx are

EWX_FORCE Forces processes to terminate. When this flag is set,
Windows doesn't send WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION messages to
running applications in the system. This can cause the applications to
lose data. Therefore, you should only use this flag in an emergency.

EWX_LOGOFF Shuts down all processes running in the security context of the
process that called the ExitWindowsEx function and logs the user off.

EWX_POWEROFF Shuts down the system and turns off the power, if supported.

EWX_REBOOT Shuts down the system and then restarts the system.

EWX_SHUTDOWN Shuts down the system to a point at which it is safe to
turn off the power. All file buffers have been flushed to disk, and
all running processes have stopped
