ShellExecute "open" on exception does not allow a force restart

I am writing a program which on an Unhandledexception, I want it to re-open itself again. For this I have created an exception filter:

long ProgExceptionFilter(EXCEPTION_POINTERS* p)
{
    if(p->ExceptionRecord->ExceptionCode==EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
    {
        TCHAR(acModule[MAX_PATH];
        GetModuleFileName(NULL, acModule, MAX_PATH);
        ShellExecute(NULL, _T("open"), acModule, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW);
        return EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER;
    }
    return EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH;
}

This works but the problem is that the "restart" I had scheduled for 00:00 every day using (shutdown -r -f) no longer works because it cannot force the application with the above code to close.

Do yo have any ideas to overcome this problem?

Thank you .
