Sure. It would be a major security risk of course, but you could do
it. As for how, make the IUSR account a member of the local
admninistrator's group. Be sure to backup the system before you
change the group membership, you'll need to restore that backup after
your system is compromised.

Instead, look into authentication and RUNAS, and even though I still
wouldn't do it you may be able to stay secure and fill your needs.
Personally, I'd use shutdown from the resource kit to handle it.
