To Enable or Disable "Automatically restarts"

Hi I am responsible for our corporate moe, lately I have had the desktop
support staff asking if we can disable the startup and recovery
"Automatically restarts" option. I'd like to know what people think is best
practice on this.

I know it is annoying if a software/hardware failure occurs as there is no
time to see the error message, but do remember getting hit by the sasser and
blaster viruses a few years ago and the automatic restart effectively took
the computer off the network until it was cleaned.

Thanks in advance
Cat

Use the System control panel, or right click the My Computer icon and choose
Properties. You will find what you are looking for on the "Advanced" tab.
