Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
SUMMARY
Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 (SP4) includes a feature that you can use to reboot the computer quickly by pressing SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+DELETE.
MORE INFORMATIONWARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve
problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk. To enable the Quick Reboot feature, add a REG_SZ value named EnableQuickReboot with a data value of 1 in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
After you make this change, quit Registry Editor and restart the computer.
Note that rebooting the computer by using the SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+DELETE key combination does not shut down the computer gracefully and creates an "unexpected shutdown (event 6008)" message in the event log. For more information about event 6008, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 196452
