Aha! That's worth knowing!
I always exit Win with a shutdown. And I always switch off the power
outlet that feeds the comp, monitor and printer.
But when i power up again, the comp switrches on and then off, and I
have to press the power button.
Your method should avoid that, as well as allowing me to work in DOS
after exiting Win.
Thank you!
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
