Windows 98 Reboot and Shutdown
Restart the System without Rebooting
SUMMARY: Restart Windows 98 without completely rebooting the system.
If you are having problems in your current Windows 98 session, such as the Explorer crashing or a lot of GPFs appearing, you *may* be able to "fix" the problem by merely restarting your computer. This, however, can take a while, especially if you have a slow system or devices to load in your AUTOEXEC.BAT and/or CONFIG.SYS files. You also *may* be able to solve the problem by just restarting Windows 98 and not your computer.
To do so, hold down your left SHIFT key and keep it pressed throughout this tip. Click the "Start" button, selecting "Shut Down." Choose "Restart Your Computer" from the dialog box that appears, then click "OK." You may now release the SHIFT key; Windows 98 will proceed to shut down.
