I'm trying to use Minlogon together with the ACPI features, mainly to
shutdown the system but for me it works only with windows logon... what
component do I need to include ? Or do I need to modify any
registry settings to achieve that ?

Only thing I noticed is that minlogon does not handle power button.
You must make app that will handle this case. You can find how to do it by
searching this news group.

The missing feature is exactly the power buttom event.I've serched in the
web based newsgroup archive (ACPI, MInlogon, etc..) but couldn't find
anything, any gess or shortcut that mentions such application ?

I guess that I'm the only one crazy enough to try to fix things like this ;)

To achieve that, is it possible to use a non ACPI configuration and leave
the Power Buttom handling to the BIOS
to instant off the system ?

I haven't seen BIOS that let you powerdown when you press power button. (You
need to hold it for more than 3 seconds).
But you will need to try your BIOS.

You may use InitiateSystemShutdown API to perform a graceful shutdown.
However, it will take a while for your anyway.
Thre is undocumentated API from ntdll.dll - NtShutdownSystem that won't
flush system changes on disk. You can get working code from here:
http://www.codeblast.com/~gert/cpp/Reset.cpp.html.
I've also seen on Internet and tried an utility that was shutting down XP
Pro less in a second. I lost the link but I believe the app was using
NtShutdownSystem internally.
