Wow, I’ve never heard of this fast restart feature before. Did it disappear after Windows 95?

I don’t recall but given the changes to the underlying components, I’d take it lasted at most up tp Windows 98.

Very interesting and makes sense that it was something that was only possible due to the particulars of Windows 9x.

I’d totally forgotten this trick - I used to use this when I was a kid after I heard about it. Was never quite sure if it was real because I remember being told to use it in Win 98 too and it didn’t do anything afaik.
