Open shutdown dialog box from command prompt?

I know I can open a shutdown dialog box with a shortcut to something like "(new ActiveXObject(“Shell.Application”)).ShutdownWindows();", but how do I do this from a command prompt?

What single command can I type at a DOS prompt to open a windows shutdown dialog box without needing any external files such as a shortcut.lnk? Anyone know?

The only way I have found to open a shutdown dialog box is to use the command
But it does not look the way you would expect



Also another way to open a shutdown dialog box is use
And again this does not look the way you would expect



Note: to use Alt + F4 and bring up the shutdown box you have to have focus on the desktop otherwise you will more than likely close the program that has focus

You may create a shortcut icon on desktop.
Shutdown: C:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe /s /t 0
restart: C:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe /r /t 0
