[fpc-pascal]Windows ShutDown Privilege

[Matt Emson]

Which version of Windows are you using? I assume a NT 4.X/NT 5.X variant. If
it's NT 4, which service pack? if it's less than 4 I'd try SP5 or SP6 first.
Just to be sure.

If you're using a Win9x variant, you probably don't need all the security
stuff because it's only NT that needs all of that.

The code was taken from Delphi, so make sure you've compiled using the
Delphi compatibility mode, just to be sure that FPC isn't ignoring
something.

Hope that helps,

Matt
