There are so many way that we can shutdown or reboot the windows by coding. But I like present very easiest way and shortest way as follow.
It’s nothing, using “Shell” commend.

' Example of rebooting PC:
' Reboot computer after timeout of 5
Shell ("Shutdown -r -t 5")  

' Switches:
'   -l  Log off profile
'   -s  Shut down computer
'   -r  Restart computer
'   -f  Force applications to close
'   -t  Set a timeout for shutdown
'   -m \\computer name (Shutdown remote computer)
'   -i  Show the Shutdown GUI
