WinXP SP2. When using Start\Turnoffcomp\Shutdown everything works
normally. if however I use Start\Turnoffcomp\Restart, my computer
doesn`t Restart, it shuts down. Any thoughts, or ideas on this
problem. TIA. best wishes..OJ



I don't think you should confine yourself to MVP's. There are many
talented and knowledgeable people who help out in this group who are
not MVP's. Why narrow down your chances of getting a good answer? I've
changed your subject line to a more useful one.

:) In the case of many of us it doesn't really matter, if I know or can find a good answer I ignore the request for MVP response and reply anyway.

Here are some links that may help.

This edit allows you to configure Windows so that you receive verbose
startup, shutdown, logon, and logoff status messages. This may be
helpful in troubleshooting slow startup, shutdown, logon, or logoff
behavior.
