Remote Desktop Q

>Can't you just click on Start, then select Shutdown?

When you connect via RD you can only log-off. As I detailed above
under Win XP you could Ctrl + Alt + End, that brings up Task Manager
and you selected "restart"

Aah a Google reveals the following:-

Still nothing on auto logging back in the original user (without
rebooting of course)

If you are using Remote Desktop Connection to connect to a Vista
workstation, you will find that the options to Shutdown, Restart and
Sleep are missing from the Start Menu. Unfortunately, there is no easy
way to get it back into the menu. You can, however, still activate the
function easily via the following ways:

1) Run the command shutdown.exe on the command line. Note that the
program supports only shutdown (-s) and restart (-r); it doesn't do
stand-by or hibernate. Also, it requires you to have administrator
privileges. If you are a limited user with shutdown privileges, the
shutdown.exe program will complain.

2) Use the Ctrl+Alt+End hotkey (It's the Remote Desktop version of Ctrl
+Alt+Del). This will bring up the full screen menu. Click on the red
button near the bottom right and you will get the options to Shutdown,
Restart and Sleep!

Have you tried using the shutdown command? Type shutdown /? at a command
prompt for help.

Not sure, but that's the first option that popped into my head, perhaps a
Google search will uncover other options.

I haven't to be honest, is that the only way it can be done?

Can't you just click on Start, then select Shutdown?
