You can keep restart option in the registry. Depending on the type of changes you make, use either
HKEY_CURRENT_USERorHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software \ your brand \ your program \ create a DWORD key called RestartRequired.If you have installation process, you can initially create this key with a value of 1. Then set to 0 just before closing and doing the restart. If you don’t install anything, you can check whether RestartRequired=0 exists in the registry at a certain location. If it does not, it will create this value and commence restart.
