Restarting Windows 2000
Correctly restarting and shutting down Windows 2000 is very important. If you need to restart the computer, doing so correctly assures that people connected to shared resources such as printers or files do not lose data because you are restarting or shutting down Windows 2000.
If you close a program using Ctrl+Alt+Del and then choose End Task in the Task Manager dialog box, other programs that you have running at that time are not affected. To correctly shut down your computer follow these steps:
- Click Start, and choose Shut Down.
- In the What do you Want the Computer to do? list, choose Shut down.
Alternately, you can shut down by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and choosing shut down from the Windows Security box.
To reboot, or restart your computer, follow the preceding steps, but in the What do you want the Computer to do? list, choose Restart.
