Remote desktop shutdown

I am logging onto a 2nd PC in the same workgroup using a remote desktop, when logged on, I only get the option to log off or disconnect. I would really like to see options for shutdown etc but do not know how to enable this without logging on as the administrator, which I do not want to do.

any assistance with this please, thank you.

The commands below may help. Use without the quotes, hit enter after you type the command. You can also try using Alt-F4 from the active desktop to restart the machine.

“shutdown -f” to shutdown
“shutdown -r -f” to reboot
“shutdown -i -f” to get a GUI
“shutdown -l -f” to logoff

BCXtreme your solution worked perfectly, thanks!
