A lot of non-Windows admins too ;-). (Last time I had any real idea of
Windows in an administrative sense it came on floppy disks...)

Would it be an idea to add a reload shortcut alongside the
start / stop shortcuts which are installed in the Windows start menu?
It might make life easier when explaining to end
users how to ensure changes in the config files can be
applied.
