Starting and Ending Windows 95/98

Starting Windows 95/98 is easy. If your computer uses a Windows 95/98 operating system, it starts automatically when you turn on the computer.

Ending Windows 95/98 is also straightforward — here’s how you do it..

First, click on the Start button in the lower left-hand corner of your computer screen. Next click on Shut Down.

 

A Shut Down Windows dialog box will appear as shown in Figure 1. Select the first option, Shut down the computer by selecting the button shown below. Your computer will now begin to shut down. You can turn off the power switch when the orange or red writing appears saying "It’s now safe to turn off your computer."

 

Tip

 When shutting your computer, please follow the steps listed above. Just turning off the computer without exiting Windows first could corrupt your files.
