I am having a problem where the computer reboots instead of shuting down through the start menu. WIN 95 on o 486. Have lots of info on shutdown issues with Win 98 but not 95.

Thanks
(2 days, 2 computers, same problem??

I don't think there is a fast shutdown in 95. You may want to check the bios for settings like wake on lan and wake on ring. I've seen some computers reboot when shutting down in those cases.

As the others have said there could be a problem in the BIOS settings.You can try this to shutdown Windows 95/98 right from the desktop.
Create a new shortcut and type the following in the Command Line box:
c:\windows\rundll user,exitwindows.
when you double click this shortcut windows shutsdown automatically without asking you for confirmation.Be warned that any unsaved data will be lost because it simply closes all open programs.
