The machine is an Aria with a soft power switch on the front panel on
the right and a reset button on the left. See further comments below.

Thanks for that information David. CTRL-Break after accidentally hitting the
F12 key works. Exactly as you have stated machine re-boots the desktop as I
wanted. This is worth knowing but I hope I don't have to use it to often :-)

Remarkably similar.
To recap (due to slight error in original post) - the machine can be re-booted
with CTRL-Shift-F12 and hitting the Return key when presented with the shutdown
window. If F12 is accidentally pressed instead at this stage then follow it
with CTRL-Break - this will force a normal boot.
If the 'Return' key is pressed instead of CTRL-Break the machine will
power-down. However when the soft-start button is pressed to power it up again
machine will not run the disc boot program and ends up displaying a crude
desktop. A disc error 23 at C00 will occur. If the machine is again powered
down, left for say 10 minutes and subsequently re-powered then a normal full
disc boot is performed and desktop is displayed normally. This is consistent.

Richard
