Hellow,

i have 2 alternate versions of config.sys and autoexec.bat.
I want to write a simple bat file that, when invoked by the user interatively,
will ask the user which version he wants, delete the current files, copy the
correct ones from "reserved" files, then re-boot.

My problem is I don't know how to emulate the cntry-al-delete boot that
the user would normally type in to have these new files take effect.

So, how do I put "cntrol-al-delete" in this bat file so that it automatically
reboots the PC without requiring the user to type "cntrol-alt-delete"???

thanx for answering,
sue@byron.u.washington.edu
