Yes you can shutdown Win 95 from VFP. You need the following:

DECLARE SHORT ExitWindowsEx IN Win32API;
    SHORT uFlags, INTEGER dwReserved

uFlags may be one of the following values:

#DEFINE EWX_LOGOFF   0
#DEFINE EWX_SHUTDOWN 1
#DEFINE EWX_REBOOT   2
#DEFINE EWX_FORCE    4
#DEFINE EWX_POWEROFF 8

You may be interested in the following notes:

EWX_LOGOFF - All processes are forced to terminate regardless of whether or not the respond. In VFP, the system then re-starts.

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.

EWX_REBOOT Shuts down the system and then restarts Windows.

EWX_FORCE - All processes are forced to terminate regardless of whether or not the respond. In VFP, the system then re-starts.

EWX_POWEROFF - Shuts down the system and turns off the power. The system must support the power-off feature.

dwReserved is reserved and should be 0.

The function returns a Boolean value in the form of an integer. 1 indicates True, 0, False.

Tests indicated the following on a Novell network: Both EWX_LOGOFF and EWX_FORCE produced the same result. Windows reported that a network application (VFP) was not responding, treated it as an error, and restarted Windows.
