| Subject:Quick Windows Restart |
| Author:
Richard Posted: 2001-09-23 04:19:08 When your computer starts to slow down and act buggy, usually after hours of use, restarting Windows will often get you back up to speed. Additionally, you often need to restart your computer after loading new software, in order for all of the system updates and changes to take effect. The fastest way to do this is to choose "restart" from your shutdown menu, and to press and hold down the "Shift" key while you click the "OK" button. Using this "Shift" key option bypasses several of the system checking features that are run when you actually turn your computer on, and instead just restarts Windows itself. The amount of time saved is small, but when you're in a hurry, every bit counts! |
