This is almost certainly due to the fact that your program needs the
correct privileges to shut down the system under Windows 2000.
Specifically, you need to call AdjustTokenPrivileges with the
SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME flag.

Seach Google groups for "Delphi ExitWindowsEx 2000" or similar, this
has been answered many times before.
