- ReactOS, the open source binary-compatible clone of Windows, also includes the shutdown.exe command and the commands are the same.
- Located in %windir%\System32. The variable %windir% is usually c:\windows. In ReactOS, the variable is usually c:\reactos (failed to mention this in the recording).
