What OS are you running? On XP Home, I get the choices of shut down,
restart, or standby.

i am running windows XP , but it does not matter, i want that when you push
the shutdown action and then it make the shutdown progress that it will make
a reboot progress instead. i am sure that you can change it in registry but i
cannot find it yet.

Where do you push the shutdown action?

After clicking Start, Turn Off Computer... do you see the Stand By
Turn Off Restart buttons?

I don't see a shutdown button/action. I see a Turn Off button.

Do you mean you want the Turn Off button to do the same thing as the
Restart button so you have two buttons that do the same thing
(restart)?

Why are you sure this is in the registry?

The OP is not telling the full story. In an earlier thread he said that he
wants to roll out a FAT32 to NTFS conversion remotely, e.g. by doing this:
1. Start a console session at the remote machine, using psexec.exe.
2. Launch convert.exe but do not allow a reboot.
3. Let the user shut down the machine in the evening.
4. Use some means to convert the user's "shutdown" command into a "restart"
command (which is the subject of this thread).
5. Let the conversion take place without the user becoming aware of it
(because it's after hours and because the user would have left by now [he
hopes]).
In the earlier thread I told him that he cannot turn a "shutdown" into a
"restart", hence his new post.

This is the OP's way of continuing a previous discussion where the
answers were deemed insufficient:

Correct. That's exactly what the word "shutdown" means.

i want that when i do it it will reboot the Pc .

Then don't click "Shutdown." Click "Restart," as that's what you want.

This is not what the OP wants. Read my explanatory note to get the full

You already know my answer: I don't think that it can be done (or perhaps: I
don't think that Microsoft have published any information on this topic).
The fact that you have not received any good answers suggests that other
respondents do not know the answer either.

In defence of Bruce Chambers: I do not think that he was trying to be
sarcastic. Part of the blame rests with you: Your question had insufficient
details, and Bruce did not take the time to read my follow-up response.

I gave you a detailed reply in your other thread about the method I would
use if this was my show.

You should have stuck to your original thread, d00d.
