What does Exploder do?

Exploder performs a clean shutdown of Windows 95 from a web page. On “Green Machines”, particularly those with a power conservative BIOS, (mostly laptop computers) it also turns the power off after shutdown. For the technical folks out there, this is a call to the windows API function ExitWindowsEx() with the flags EWX_SHUTDOWN and EWX_POWEROFF set. For the less technical, it’s the same thing as the “Shut Down” menu item on the “Start” button, but with the power off feature added.
