You can keep restart option in the registry. Depending on the type of changes you make, use either HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKEY_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.

You can write in file if changes are made. Then you can check this file if restart occured.
