The interesting thing I have found is, that if I call
ExitWindowsEX(EXW_FORCE,0) under 98, it wont reboot, yet under NT, it works
fine !
Typical OS inconcistances....mind you, theres prob. a good reason for
it.....
Thanks,

Subject: RE: [DUG]: Rebooting computer from dos prompt
In dos there is a file called reeboot.com or restart.com which reboots the
machine when executed.
You will find this on a windows** recovery disk.
This will reeboot if you are in dos, but I think it only closes the command
window when using a dos window.
Hopefully that will help.
