Restart Windows Instead Of Rebooting The Whole Computer
By Mohammad Yousef |
July 2004
Isn't it very annoying when you change a setting and then you need to reboot
for the changes to take effect? It takes around 1 minute to reboot, but
we've become so impatient, that a single minute is a very long time to wait.
Here's a tip that could save you several minutes.
Note: This works only with Windows XP.
So you've done a registry hack or tweaked a Windows setting and you're so
eager that you can't wait to check out the results. Hit Ctrl+Alt+Del (which
should fire up the Task Manager) and go to the "Processes" Tab. Find "explorer.exe",
right-click it, and choose "End Process". Don't be afraid of the warning
message. Trust me and click "Yes." The taskbar and desktop icons should
vanish, so don't freak out. Now choose File / New Task (Run…) and type "explorer.exe"
without quotes in the new window's text box. Click OK (or press Enter) and
you're done.
Note: I don't recommend doing this after installing new software; if the
installer tells you to reboot, it must be the wise decision to make.
