That might work with *nix, but not MS-Windows.

I just find it suspicious whenever someone shows up and their first post is "how do I reboot". This just screams "kiddie pest" to me.
Just so you know, there is no "any OS" answer to this.

Generalization means Windows as he didn't mention a specific OS.
