How Restart only Windows and not Bios

When restarting Windows, you don't always need to go through the BIOS initialisation and POST.

1. Click Start > Shut Down to bring up the Shut Down Windows dialog box.

2. Select Restart.

3. Hold down the [Shift] key as you click on Ok. This will restart only Windows.
This is particularly useful when you change some registry entries or a few system settings
