Hi Dana.
I also do not trust reboots with ctrl alt del. I use the freeware utility:
psshutdown available here: http://www.sysinternals.com/files/PsShutdn.zip
Then I make a file called rebootnow.bat and in it I put:

Sounds like you have not got it running as a service.
There should be an option under Start Menu/Programs/VNC/Administration for
Install VNC Service, for Tight all it is is this:
"C:\Program Files\TightVNC\WinVNC.exe" -install
Once it is running as a service you can "send c/a/d" as per normal.
Your best bet (I'd have thought) would actually be the Shutdown.exe Resource
Kit Utility - that reboot's distant machines fine, no need to use VNC for
that.
