shutdown.exe

There is a third-party alternative, poweroff.exe which seems to work better.
This is both GUI and commandline.

XP Pro SP3 updated to the minute, IBM T42.

I found this statement on MS.

Note Shutdown.exe for Windows 2000 is no longer supported and is not
available for download from Microsoft. This tool is available on the
original Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit CD-ROM only.

So why do I have shutdown.exe on my computer?

Thanks

Shutdown.exe for Win2k is no longer supported. But shutdown.exe
is part of the OS for both 32 and 64 bit versions of XP and Vista.
It's in the system32 folder. I would assume that Win 7 also has
shutdown.exe.
