[Mini Guide] Restart Windows without restarting the Computer

[Freyr]

When you click on the SHUTDOWN button, make sure to simultaneous press SHIFT Button. If you hold the Shift key down while clicking on SHUTDOWN button, you computer would restart without restarting the Computer.

 

Have Fun.

I can't see the difference. I wonder If I'm Doing smthing wrong. I press left shift then press shutdown then press shutdown again from the popup screen. Then released left shift. Did I do it the right way?

I think I didn't explain detailed enough. I hold the shift down all the way form the start. I released it when my computer starts to shut down.

Whats your pc's version and pack?Windows xp sp1,sp2,sp3? Windows vista sp1,sp2?

 

I test it in xp so maybe it works only for xp
