There's a small program called restart.com inside ebd.cab, located in
C:\Windows\Command\Ebd on my Windows98 system. When you make an
Emergency Boot Disk, ebd.cab is expanded so its files can be placed on
that floppy. I haven't tried it, but I strongly suspect that restart.com
could be called with a hotkey or shortcut for those times when you want
to do a quick restart. I have no idea if it's capable of gracefully
shutting down any running applications, so experiment at your own risk
and please let the list know what you find so we can all benefit.
