WhyReboot Description

WhyReboot will try to help you determine if a program requested a post-reboot file replacement, or if there are other pending operations that may require a reboot. WhyReboot is a small application that displays a list of pending file operations that will occur after rebooting your computer. Mainly for the curious, it can be helpful in determining whether a reboot is really necessary, or an installer is just 'playing it safe' in requiring a reboot. Main features: Examines documented registry locations for post-reboot file copy/rename/delete operations. Examines documented registy locations for "Run Once" applications: these will run once on the next reboot, and are probably used by an installer to perform post-reboot file cleanup and other operations such as registry manipulation. Examines Wininit.ini on Win9x/ME platforms for pending file rename/delete operations.
