When I use shutdown -r or shutdown /r my Windows computer doesn't restart. I think this command is disabled. How can I enable this command in the command prompt?

Run regedit (Start -> Run) and check these registry keys if NoClose is set:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer
0 indicates shutdown is enabled.
1 indicates shutdown is disabled.
If the value is not there, you could try adding it and setting it to 0. You'll probably need to restart as well.

I prefer SysInternals PSSHUTDOWN, has lots of options. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb842062
