1. How do I restart Windows in a Windows application that is currently running?
   The control panel can do this when the virtual memory size is changed.


2. Is there a way to clean up dangling resources, e.g. GDI, that are left behind
   by other tasks?  Windows' own screen saver always hogs resources this way.


Thank you in advance,
