Restarting Win95 without Warm Boot

Keywords: 	 restart Windows reboot

Question:

Is there some trendy way in WinBatch to perform a restart Win95 withoug warm boot like many SETUP programs sometimes do... Win95 does it too if you change the number of colors on screen (well it pops up an option to restart).

Answer:

Well, technically it is not supposed to be possible.....excpt it works. Because of a umm possible bug in Windows 95, a 16 bit program can request a Windows restart but a 32 bit one cannot.

You could write a 16 bit WinBatch program with some IntControl (66? 67? 68?) to do the restart for you and it will work.

You can find the 16 bit version of WinBatch on our website. If you have licensed a 32-bit copy, you can request a 16-bit license from technical support.
