reboot Win2k only without restarting the whole PC:

I have an problem automating Win2k reboot on my laptop. I use the shutdown.exe utility (from Resource Kit) like this:

shutdown /L /R /T:30 /Y /C

Unfortunately, it restarts the whole laptop,right from the BIOS splash-screen. Then the laptop asks for the BIOS password to continue. I don’t want to disable the BIOS password-at-boot security, so I just want to restart Windows without shutting down all the way to the BIOS.

Any way to do this in Win2k ? [I think with Win98, it was possible while holding down the Shift key at restart dialog.]

(Actually, I need the restart to perform page-file defragging)

Hope to get some working solutions…
