Bypassing startup files on Windows 9x

You have to press Shift+F5 when Windows is starting. The best moment to do this is when the "Verifying DMI data" message appears, right before the Windows startup screen is displayed.



This hotkey works on all versions of Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows ME. It does not work on Windows NT, XP and up.
