It doesn't work on my WinME system either. I don't recall ever trying it on 98SE, although I believe there was some sort of "quick restart" shortcut for that OS. There's no "OK" button involved in WinXP, so it wouldn't be a factor on that OS.
There's some evidence here that this shortcut only worked with Win95/Win98.
I dont know about short cut keys but here is some thing I have used successfully with ME for the past three years.
To make a shortcut to reboot right click on an open spot on your desk top then on the drop down menu click new and select shortcut, in the command line type in C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 2
If you also want a short cut to shut down repeat the above procedure but in the command line type
I put my short cuts on the task bar then one click does the job you can also right click on the shoret cut and change the icon. Let me know how you make out.
