This dos command aborts a scheduled system restart. Works in XP and Win 7.

You can run  this when some applications (drivers / updates) induces a forced restart after completing the installation or inbetween. As soon as you get the Notification saying that , your system is going to reboot in so and so minutes or seconds, simply run this in a command window.


Syntax :
