- The short answer is yes. It might be a good idea that before you hit the
- power switch you add the following line to your config.sys file:
-
- set RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY
-
- This will insure that only applications in your startup folder will get
- restarted the next time you boot up. Thus effectively killing any runaway
- program that would be restarted over again.
