- WHAT IS ROGER'S RAPID RESTART?
-
- Roger's Rapid Restart gives you total control over exiting and restarting
- Windows. It is the most powerful tool of its kind!
-
- In a past issue of Windows Sources, Barry Simon writes, "Typical of programs
- that are exceedingly useful but too "small" to make it at Egghead is
- Roger's Rapid Restart." Windows User (June 1993) gave Roger's Rapid Restart
- its Best Buy designation along with a 4-star rating.
-
- It allows you to:
-
- - Exit Windows
-
- - Restart Windows without first going back to the DOS prompt
-
- - Exit Windows, run a DOS application, and restart Windows without
- further user intervention. This is great for DOS games! And,
- developers can switch between the debug and retail kernels with
- a single keystroke!
-
- - Exit Windows and reboot your system. This will exit Windows and
- perform a soft system reset.
-
- A special Hotkey allows you to exit Windows instantly! You can utilize
- our Rapid Restart (tm) feature to exit or restart Windows without the
- delays involved when each application is asked if it is OK to exit.
- This is particularly handy if you are running applications that always
- ask before terminating (such as a DOS application). You can also run
- Roger's Rapid Restart with passed-in parameters and have full access to
- its command set.
-
- An optional icon allows quick access to RRR's features and allows you to
- instantly exit Windows by clicking your right mouse button on the icon.
-
- The cost for registration is only $10 plus shipping & handling.
