hi i need to restart pc realy fast using batch any ides?

i tried this


but shutdown doesn't work after all tasks are killed any ides? I tried also:
taskkill /F /FI "USERNAME eq testuser" /IF "IMAGENAME ne cmd.exe" and taskkill /F /FI "USERNAME eq testuser" /IF "IMAGENAME ne kill.bat" but without success =[ maybe other ideas how to restart pc?

Is this any quicker?

Control + Alt + Delete then Alt + U, U

not sure on what os you use it but in windows 7 alt+u does nothing for me...


anyway is there a way to kill all processes but not batch itself?
assigned title to batch file using TITLE KILLALL then but batch is killed anyway...

My OS is XP. I see Win7 has removed the functionality.

You would be best to iterate through the list of running tasks and shut down everything except cmd.exe


Are any of the tasks running open files that can be corrupted by forcefully killing the tasks?
