hi doug, man, i don't know. right off i did notice that the shutdown shortcut i have sitting on my desktop is slightly different... C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE user.exe,exitwindows i.e, there's a '32' after rundll. i just now tried on my desktop the restart shortcut you pasted, and it did restart me, but two or three other squirrelly things also occurred, such as a weird reboot routine (messages about searching for a drive letter for my iomega jaz), and when i went to reopen netscape the shortcut file-naming dialog popped up with the default 'rundll' name in it asking if i wanted to save, etc. just all weird stuff. plus the shortcut would not work out of my quicklaunch toolbar. so i just 86'd it as too much hassle. i doubt that any of that helps you, though. unless adding the '32' gets you there. :) mark
