This will bring up a menu offering a list of startup options. The first option listed is always the normal setup. If you choose this option, your computer will continue on to its regular Win95 operating state. The Logged option is similar to a normal boot process other than the fact it generates a text file named Boot.txt, which is helpful for figuring out startup errors. When you start your system in Safe Mode a simplified version of Win95 loads, letting you try to correct problems such as driver conflicts so you can restore the system to full operation.
Safe mode initiates automatically when the system fails to finish loading in a previous attempt.
After all the hoopla surrounding the boot process, and considering your computer basically starts over anyway, it seems as if turning it off should be a no-brainer. Well, it is for the most part, but you still need to follow a few steps. In Win95, however, there is an even more established procedure you should follow, if you know what's good for you. That procedure involves left-clicking the Start button and selecting the Shut down option that appears in the window. This simple procedure allows the operating system to save important cache information to your hard drive and to update any Registry changes.
