I've had to restart my system quite a few times from installations and now I'm sorely missing my shift key reboot.
Is there a new key combo or is it really gone???

Thanks for any help.

I think it's really gone. This was a nice side-effect of having a real-mode DOS system behind Windows 95/98. With ME, you can't simply restart the protected-mode GUI by exiting to the real-mode DOS system--it no longer exists. You have to recycle through the bios now to restare Windows.
