Does anyone know of a way to reset the today screen programmatically?
What I mean is, I have a today screen plug in that works great. My problem
is, when we do an update, we copy a bunch of files from the network to
update our software. Well, since the plug-in is always running, you can't
copy a new file over the old one. You have to remove the entry in the
registry for your plug-in and then restart the today program. Normally,
this is done by going to Start / Settings / Today / Items and then clicking
OK.

Does anyone know of a way to do this through code?

Basically, you have to remove the registry settings and broadcast a message.
Allow for a second or so. Read more details here:

Thanks a bunch. It works great. All it needed was the magical
SendMessage() to complete. Now the update works as it should.
