Hello,

The proper way to shut down explorer interactively:
1. Display classic shutdown dialog(Alt+F4)
2. Use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+"Push Cancel button with mouse"

I want to do exactly the same thing only not interactively - by using batch
script, vbs script(wsh), wmi or whatever method.
(Of course I can always terminate explorer process but I don't want to do
that)
Possible to do that ?

thanks
Vilius

I have found this some time ago, but haven't tried it myself:

Then the <code>ExitWindowsEx()</code> function is your friend.
