You can use the "!" operator followed by a Windows command. For example
!dir C:
to execute "dir C:" by a command shell.

The formal name of My Computer is explorer.exe .
!explorer
For closing the current window, it depends whether you mean the current graphics figure or the current MATLAB tool window (such as the variable browswer) or if you mean a program outside of MATLAB such as you would normally use ALT-F4 to close.
Shutdown would be
!shutdown /s /t 0
or if you are using Windows 8 and want a full power off, you can use
!shutdown /p
