You Know, you can just hit start and click Turn Off Computer. You really do not need a program!

Pretty simple - Just double click and walk away. Do what you got to do and when you come back, your system is rebooted.
Cons
Can't think of anything

Indeed .. you ppl didn't realize this software does more than shutting down you computer. This product is also for advance users, this produts does what it says very well! . i don't know if the guys who wrote the bad reviews have some other OS installed. but this is a great awesome software, and i just can't belive it's free! other will actually cost you some good money .. but this one .. does the trick, <p> <p>Advance users! get it!
Cons

Pros
Tha other reviewers missed the point on this product. It is not made to replace the start-shutdown option. It is for users, like myself, who have partitioned hard drives with multiple os. Example: I have my hard drive split 4 times,( Windows XP Home, Windows Xp Pro, Linux, and Longhorn). When you boot up you have 30 seconds to scroll to your chosen os. If you don't choose one, it will go to the newest os, Longhorn in my case. By using Restart, it goes immediately to your chosen os in 3 seconds. You can walk away and get a coffee or beer instead of sitting there waiting for it to boot down and then scrolling to your os when it boots up. Yes, maybe it is the lazy man's way, but hey, it's free and sames me some time. I'm giving Restart 5 Stars and Two Thumbs Up!

Program as a whole! Geeze, just click start, turn off computer and click shutdown! If that's too stressful then most modern motherboards support pressing your power button briefly to enable a quick shutdown.

I saves you no time at all. It takes two clicks to restart compared to the normal three. I used it for one day but now I can't get rid of it. I assume you would go to the control panel and then add and remove programs. Now mine doesn't work (populate.) Thanks so much Gabriele! Unfortunately you can't give negative stars here.
