INSIDE MICROSOFT WINDOWS 95 TIP OF THE WEEK

The following tip is presented by INSIDE MICROSOFT WINDOWS 95, a monthly
publication of The Cobb Group. For a FREE issue, go to

USING WINDOWS 95'S LOCAL REBOOT

With Windows 95's local reboot feature, you can safely shut down a hung
application without affecting other running applications. When an
application locks up, press the [Ctrl][Alt][Del] key combination. When the
Close Program dialog box appears, the hung application is usually
highlighted and will have the phrase "Not Responding" next to it. If it's
not already highlighted, select the application you want to close and
click End Task. Usually, the application will close without further
prompting, but some times a confirmation dialog box will appear. If this
happens, click End Task again to close the hung program.
