If u Install An Appz And Ask For Reboot Just Use This And U Can Use Ur Appz Without Restart

this works both with windows vista and xp.
so heres the trick..

Vista:
Select Start, then hover over the right arrow that is to the right of
the padlock icon until the pop-up menu appears that contains “restart”
as one of it’s choices. Hold down the SHIFT key while clicking on the
“restart” choice.

Windows xp
Select Start. Select “Shut Down…”. Change the drop-down combo box under “What do you want the computer to do?” to “Restart”. Hold down the SHIFT key while clicking on the “OK” button.

Are you serious? Just Shift+Click the restart and I will restart only windows? Omg! Thanks so much for this key hint! I really needed something like this. Now I can gain some extra time when installing new software :D I'll give it a try asap.

Wow we are getting to know more about Xp when it is being replaced by Vista. Microsoft could have let us know about this trick.

I always on my computer and seldom let it have a rest. :) I'm just feel lazy to start again some applications every time reboot the PC. I guess i have to practice to restart PC from time to time.
