more direct method to exit explorer gracefully?

[misrepresentative]

I recently found out that you could close Explorer gracefully. Steps (on my Win 7 system) : 1. Click on start menu button, 2. At "Shutdown" do Ctrl+Shift+ Right-click Mouse Button. There's  option to exit Explorer.

My question is if it's possible to trigger it in a more direct manner without : ControlClick, Send, Hotkeys, MouseClick.

 

Thank you.

Found out after some search. Hope it helps.

 

#include <SendMessage.au3>


    Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle ( "[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]" )
    Local $iMsg = 0x5B4

    _SendMessage ( $hWnd, $iMsg )

ProcessClose(WinGetProcess ( "[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]" ))

Thanks, jguinch. I'm not sure if that method does a graceful close. Triying to avoid ProcessClose as well.
