NT users should love
this tip: Beware the Blue Screen of Death! It's something we've all feared for
many years (especially sysadmins). Now, normally, your computer's operations
will be halted when the BSOD appears--until you reboot. With this Registry hack,
you can force NT to automatically reboot after a BSOD crash! Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
> SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > CrashControl > AutoReboot and set the value to
"1" (without the quotes). NT will now reboot when the BSOD appears (after appending
the crash log file).
