Considering what Joe Wu from microsoft said, if the system is
constantly restarting how would it be possible for him to go into the
windows system, right click on my computer, etc....

is there another workaround for this? is there another way to change
this setting? is this a registry setting that can be changed? is it a
variable in a config file we can change? please advise.. .this is a
problem that has plauged me for a while with my clients.
