JohnQ JohnQ Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2003-03-04 Posts: 171	Does anyone know of a way to tell if machine is pending a reboot? As could be the case if software was installed that required a reboot and the user cancelled the reboot. Thanks

And i believe someone even wrote a UDF for it...here it is. CheckUpdateOnReboot
