There are a number of shareware programs out there to bring Windows down gracefully for a soft reboot. Just make sure they bring it down GRACEFULLY, and don't just suddenly reboot.

The first answer does a "sudden" reboot.(it does not ask your applications whether they may close or not)

However you can NOT use it under WinNT or Win2K because they do not grant rebooting-permission by default to all processes.

If you are a C++ or VB programmer why do not search the MSDN library online for more info:
Platform SDK - Windows Base Services / Setup and System Management Services

Hope this helps,
