How to: Avoid the cold boot and POST when restarting Windows 95.
Solution:
Press and hold SHIFT; then choose 'Yes' to restart Windows 95.
To avoid the lengthy cold boot and POST test when restarting Windows 95:
NOTE: This is especially useful in those cases when device settings were changed, and Windows 95 must restart to activate those changes.
1) Click the 'Start' button to display the 'Start' menu.
2) Select 'Shut Down...'. (The 'Shut Down Windows' dialog box appears.)
3) Select the 'Restart the computer' radio button.
4) Press and hold down SHIFT and click 'Yes'. (Windows 95 should shut down and restart more quickly, with the 'Restarting Windows 95...' message appearing without a memory or BIOS check.)
