If you hold the Shift key down while clicking on SHUTDOWN button, your computer would restart without restarting the Computer. This is equivalent to term"HOT REBOOT". For windows 98 just hold the shift key down when you click the ok button to restart. Also click restart not shutdown then hold shift. Im not sure how fast it works but its all according to your pc speed. -Cowsgonemadd3 |

That is a very good tip. Here is one similar to it.
On my computer, I have shortcuts for both restart and shutdown...This way, I can just click either one, and walk away without me having to wait for applications to close. Here is how to do them. Sorry-only works on XP Home or Pro Restart:
Similar to above, except change the -r switch to -s -------------------- We are all curious like a cat. We wonder, we ask, we learn.
Please post back when a suggestion works, so that others may learn. |

When windows restarts, Does it go through the entire process to boot up? Like having to pass through a BIOS-protected password?
