Restart Manager registration is to allow the apps to keep their same state (e.g. open the same document just as the user had it before restarting). I would be surprised if it affect the UI like this. However, there are cases when restart manager can't get anything at all because in order to see who has a file open you need to be able to get a file handle yourself. If the file is opened with enough exclusivity, restart manager is unable to determine who has the file open. This may be what you're seeing - checking what Bob told you is a good way to see where the breakdown is.

MSI handles the Restart Manager integration; check a verbose log to see what info MSI is getting from RM. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
