Hi,

I have always been under the impression that once a software program is
installed on a Windows machine, Windows should be restarted. I believe it had
something to do with the writing of information to the registry.

I recently purchased a new system. I am preparing to reload all of the
software that I used on a regular basis. Depending on how many programs I
feel I need for my current workload, this will be anywhere between 50 and 125
programs.

Is it "ideal" to restart Windows after the installation of each program? (Or
in some cases between the installation of a suite of software (such as MS
Office).)

I'm not looking to do any more than necessary; but, I'm not looking to cut
corners either.

Thanks for any input.

Jeff
