[dba-Tech] Reboot to fix

In the old days it was a .bat or .cmd (batch) file with a specific name
placed in the system folder.
like winstart or even the load in win.ini still works.

I googled this link with a lot of posibilities.

php+winstart.bat+windows+xp&hl=nl&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=be

hope this helps
Erwin

Hi Bobby:

I think you are right but as you have noticed this is only part of the
story. When system changes are made they must be made before the system
boots...

That information must be stored somewhere in the system, retrieved, a
specific operation is then performed and then the system continues the
reboot.... Now what and where would that be? As it is done all the time
you would think the knowlege would be fairly common.... but I have not
been able to find it.

Thanks
Jim
