Hi all,
Was wondering what is the difference between "shutdown
the computer and turn it on again after 10 seconds" and "pushing the Restart button".
My OS is Windows XP Pro SP2 IE 6
Thanks,

Shutting down turns it off completely. Restarting reboots the system, which is similar to shutting down, only you don't have to turn it back on again.

You didn't really answer the question.

If you choose the "restart" option from the shutdown dialog, your
system performs an orderly shutdown, closing open files and generally
cleaning up after itself before shutting down and rebooting.

When you just press the reset button, the system will restart, but you
will lose any pending data not saved, likely strand various data
files, and could possibly corrupt certain system files depending on
their state when you hit the reset button.  Best to save the reset
button for situations where you don't have an option to restart using
the shutdown dialog.
