    Registry Changes without reboot
    « on: December 23, 2010, 07:39:45 AM »
    Hi All,

    I am making a change to the Principal Domain under the following path:

    Code: [Select]
    My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Services for UNIXt

    Is there a programmatic way to make this change effective immediately without restarting the system?

    Thanks

      Some registry changes doesn't require a restart but others needs restart and there's no way to override this

      It's an exception rather then a rule, including for that key.
      I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
