Hi.  My program is making changes to the registry that I need to take
effect right away.  In order to make the changes happen immediately and
not at the next log in, I try to refresh the registry by posting a quit
message to the program manager.  This closes the shell.  I then execute
explorer.exe which restarts the shell.  Now all the settings in the
registry are read back in.  This works most of the time, but sometimes
it makes the computer unstable and it crashes.  Has anyone had any
success using this method, or know a different method?  Any help will be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
Mike
