We have all seen the little "programs"
to Shut Down Win95 fast. Some are dangerous

Yes there are programs out their that will eat your computer if
you aren't careful. One of the crash problems that computers have
is some shareware that isn't friendly.
Does the following seem PERFECTLY safe?
Make a shortcut with the following as the target.
C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindows
Start In: C:\windows

I'm not sure if this makes sense or not. I rely on experts for
guidance in these matters. I agree that the more stuff you have
to shut down on you system, Windows, regardless of the version
will shut it down in sequence. Sure takes a long time if you have
many tsr's to close.
("Second opinion" anyone?)

Yes. I have found that Windows Magazine is a really helpful
publication for learning and putting in to practice various tips
to keep the OS clicking along smoothly.....Well almost.

Karen Kenworthy who is the resident guru of "Power Tools", wrote
a program that shuts Windows down in a flash without killing off
the system in the process. One of the reasons I like what she
does is due to the fact she includes the source code. <smile> For
those who like to dabble at programing, this is helpful.

For those who may be interested in seeing if this quick shutdown
may be helpful, you can visit her at the following address.

I trust this source because it is reliable, informative, it works
and it's free.

Sincerely,
