Vista - Can't force remote shutdown/restart from RDP session

Can't force remote shutdown/restart from RDP session

I cannot force Vista on my home machine to restart from a remote RDP
session. I've checked to make sure Administrators have remote
shutdown privilege but there's no option to restart or shutdown
available either from the start menu or from Taskmanager.

How can I fix this???

Thanks for any help!

You could use the the "tsshutdn" or "shutdown" commands from the command
line on the remote PC while in a Remote Desktop session.
