Choosing Shut Down from the
Start Menu gives you several choices,
including restarting your computer.
However, to restart Windows without
restarting your computer, saving time and
aggravation, follow this step:
One time:
- Hold down the Shift key while
pressing OK in the Shut Down box.
To make an icon on your desktop:
- Using a text editor (such as
Notepad), type the following by itself:
@EXIT
- Save the file somewhere on your hard
disk - call it whatever you like, as
long as it has the extension .bat.
- Make a shortcut to the batch file,
and place it on your desktop (or
wherever you want).
- Right-click on the shortcut, select
Properties, click the Program
tab, and make sure the Close on Exit
option is turned on.
- Then, click Advanced, and
make sure MS-DOS mode is
selected, and Warn before entering
MS-DOS mode is turned off.
- Click Ok twice, and double-click on
the icon to use it.
