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 also later being told to use it in Win 98 too and it didn't do anything afaik.

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.
