if (actionType == 1)
        {
            system("shutdown -s -f -t 10");
        }
        else if (actionType == 2)
        {
            system("rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0");
        }

meaning that it doesn't do anything. It will just sit there and look defiantly at me.

The first problem is you need to change
if (actionType != 1 || actionType != 2)
to
if (actionType != 1 && actionType != 2)

Alrighty, that solved the first problem, thanks for the info, also replaced the if with while but still... why doesn't it shut down the PC?
