You can only shutdown via the command-line shutdown. If you want to shutdown,
use "shutdown -s -t 0", if you want to restart, "shutdown -r -t 0". To get all
the options, use "shutdown -?"

Answered my question:

Start -> Run -> "shutdown -r"

Thanks

I haven't tried this in Vista, but it works in XP.

Click on the Desktop and press Alt+F4. This brings up the shutdown menu.
