A Quicker Restart - HYIPs Talk

Every now and again, we get a reader asking us about faster restarts in Windows XP. They remembered that in Windows 95/98, holding down the Shift key while restarting got things done a lot quicker; and they wanted to know if this works in Windows XP.

While this worked in older versions of Windows, starting with Windows NT 4.0, this no longer worked. There really isn't a quicker way to shut down your Windows XP PC. If you hold down the Shift key during a restart, the computer will still go through the entire restart sequence.

I have no idea that to make restart work faster in windows 98 you must hold down the shift button. I think I would just do that next time. And also thanks for the tips in windows XP as well because I am using both OS windows 98 and windows XP as well.
