Restart Windows 95 without a warm boot
This is a very handy time saver. Select Start / Shut down, and click the Restart Computer option. Then, while holding down the Shift key, click Yes. Windows 95 will now restart without executing a complete warm boot.
If you DO want a complete reboot, here's the fastest way we know to do that. Just set up a simple MS-DOS batch file and place its icon on your desktop. From then on, restarting Windows 95 is just a double-click away.
Open Notepad and type the following:
@EXIT
Save the file anywhere you want with an appropriate name, such as RESTART.BAT, and close Notepad. Find the new file in Explorer and place a shortcut to it on the desktop. Close Explorer and rename the new shortcut.
Click the shortcut with the right mouse button, choose Properties, and on the Program tab, select the Close on Exit option. Click Advanced, select MS-DOS mode, and deselect Warn before entering MS-DOS mode. Click OK twice.
Ready to restart Windows 95? Double-click your new desktop icon!
