Code for ReStart........

While it may work in some systems, Win98 doesn't support a "warm" reboot, which
is what that command initiates ("warm" restart restarts windows without fully
restarting the machine.)

Use the following instead:
C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32 SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx 2

Unlike the older User.exe function, the Shell32.exe function's parameters are
case sensitive. Everything after the comma must be capitalized as above. The 2
tells it to reboot. Other options are available. See

replace the "n" with the corresponding number to do what you want

To Logoff
RUNDLL32 SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx 0

To Shutdown
RUNDLL32 SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx 1

To Restart
RUNDLL32 SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx 2

To Shutdown (1) and Poweroff (
RUNDLL32 SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx 9

and so on...

Only difference I see is that mine fully qualified the path to RunDLL.exe. Not
important if RunDLL is in the Path. Other than that, it's true that there are
more options than those supplied by WTC.

Did you read the link that accompanied my suggestion?
