Quickly Restarting Windows 95

Select Shutdown

1. Click the Restart Computer option
2. While holding down the SHIFT key, click YES
3. Windows 95 will now restart without executing a complete warm boot

In addition to the tip regarding the ability to avoid a warm boot while restarting windows by shift-clicking the yes button,
the same method can be used to avoid a warm boot when restart in MS-DOS mode is selected.
The result is an exit to DOS much like win 3.11. However, regardless of click or shift click. The result is still a DOS Shell, not true DOS.
