Folks, tell me, how do you feel when your computer asks for getting restart whenever you install any software? Yeh, for some folks this is best technique to know that the software installed successfully, but if your system is slow, you’d not prefer installing software if you don’t have much time as rebooting takes lot of time in slow systems. Yesterday, while working on a super dawdling system of one of my friends, it took me 15 minutes to install a simple game. Ah, that’s smacked, and the time mainly taken in reboot, as he has a older system (salaron), which has a scrawny processor. After I stucked by this problem, I’ve then decided to resolve it by probing some possible way which can make the softwares work correctly even without restarting it. Yeh, this was a sturdy job, but what I found after exploring windows registry and different processes. When a modification is made to the registry, such as when installing new software, you are instructed to restart the computer. Well, you don't have to! Do this instead:
♦Bring up the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del ♦ Select explorer.exe in the Processes tab ♦Click the End Process button on the bottom right; all windows, the taskbar and desktop icons disappear! but don't panic...our friend Task Manager is still there ♦In menu, click File, New Task (Run...) ♦Type explorer and press Enter (this reloads the explorer.exe process AND the registry!) note: The explorer.exe file is an executable file for Windows Explorer. In the Microsoft Windows operating system, the explorer.exe file runs and has a graphical user interface that you can see when you are opening hard drives or files. Sometimes, the graphical user interface of the explorer.exe file is referred to as Windows GUI shell or Explorer. The file was created to replace the Windows 3.x File Manager, which is the older version of the application embedded on previous versions of the MS Windows environment. The file is executed when the user double-clicks on the My Computer desktop icon and the one found in the Start menu. The explorer.exe file was initially used only to navigate or browse files, but as newer versions of Windows were released, it evolved to being a file management system that is task-based. Therefore, your whole C drive gets reloaded, and consequently it saves you from restarting. Hence you would never want to restart your computer after installation of a new software.
