When Lanwench said that shutdown.exe is part of
the Win2000 Resource Kit, she actually meant this:
- Obtain a copy of the Windows 2000 Resource Kit.
- Locate a copy of shutdown.exe
- Copy it into a suitable location
- Find out the correct switches for the command
- Invoke it by fully specifying its path, e.g.
   "c:\program files\Resource Kit\shutdown.exe" /r

I recommend that you have a good look at the basics
of command processing under Windows in order
to become familiar with concepts like "%path%",
order of execution, and the Command Prompt.
Clicking Start/Run is quite unsuitable for this type
of work.
