I did not try the above, but tried to kill IE (iexplore.exe) and it worked:

You can add /F to force kill explorer.exe

I don't know your OS but this might not work in XP home. See this link for similar command in XP home:

Oh! all i know that killing explorer.exe does not power off PC. Strange.
OK, i had a spare XP professional PC here and using this killed explorer:

Code: Select all

 run "cmd /k tskill explorer";
And yes XYplorer does not support taskkill/tskill but command-line does support and you can run command-line commands from inside XYplorer.
The above script first opens command-line, as if you clicked start>Run>cmd and then executes the rest of the command.
