Collins new tip...

[steef]

even when i add the string myself(it isnt there)... i hold cntrl alt shift and hit del and nothing happens (after i save and reboot of course). Im using XP Pro with all updates. my rig is as follows<BR><BR>AMD AthlonXP 3200 @2430mHz<BR>Abit NF7-S 2.0<BR>2x256 Geil Golden Dragon 433<BR>Radeon 9700 Pro with Giant II heatsink<BR>Maxtor 80 gig D740X<BR>WD 30 gig Cavair<BR>2x36 gig raptors<BR>Antec True 430 <BR><BR>My rig is 100% stable... just this registry value seems not to work :/ <BR><BR>heres what he posted in teh new newsletter<BR><BR>For those of you who are extremely impatient there's a way of restarting Windows without having to restart the actual PC... I know this has saved me a bit of time when trying out new registry tweaks and such.<BR><BR>First load up regedit (Start -> Run then type regedit and click the ok button). From there follow this path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows NT -> CurrentVersion -> Winlogon. From there add/modify the EnableQuickReboot string value and change it to 1. Save exit and reboot your PC normally.<BR>After that's done every time you want to reboot simply press Shift + Ctrl + Alt + Del and Windows will do a quick restart without rebooting.

I haven't got it to work either yet. Ensure you've shutdown and restarted before trying the tip, but from what I've read elsewhere this is an NT/2000 tip.

Doesn't work for me either...<BR><BR>You accomplish the same thing by using task manager to end the 'EXPLORER' process, this will shut down the task bar and stuff. Then launch a new task, type EXPLORER and away you go. This will re-init the registry without having to fully reboot the system.

Then, surely couldn't we make a little program - might have to use VB, C or something - and then link to it via a keyboard hotkey. One press and Win reboots. <BR><BR>No, that woudln't work would it... would a program be able to run after you've closed explorer? Is that the shell/kernel/what?
