Does anyone know how I can identify the actual command behind the "Restart now" button accessed via the path described in my question? This would prove very useful for a batch program that I may enhance. Thanks.

    Hi,

    I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

    The command to go to Advanced Startup is

    shutdown /r /o

    You can add the parameters /f to force the restart and /t 0 to remove the wait time (30 seconds by default), leaving

    shutdown /r /o /f /t 0

    Hi Rodrigo,

    You are a star! Thanks very much. If only I'd entered shutdown /? at the command prompt, I might have found it myself ....

    Cheers, Neil.
