Using C programming how can i write a programme to shutdown windows?
That is, whats the coding used to create such a programme.
So that when i run the .exe file the system/computer should shutdown.

Is there any purpose for that other than malice?

This can be done, but I'm reluctant to share this knowledge as I suspect you have bad intentions. There are very few circumstances in which you should need to do this. A better solution would be to display a dialog box _requesting_ that the user shuts down - users like to be in control, and they hate it when some arrogant coder thinks they know better.
As I mentioned though, this is entirely possible - search the net and see for yourself.

1. Go to http://www.planetsourcecode.com
2. Register
3. Search for SHUTDOWN under C/C# category.
3. Search and download any source codes you think helpful to you.
Hope this is the best!

Windows XP already has a shutdown exe located in C:\Windows\System32\ known as shutdown.exe. Hope this helps.
