Win95 Won't RESTART from desktop

I've been pulling my hair out trying to get Win95 to restart from the
desktop.  It either drops me into a blank screen with a blinking
cursor and no C-prompt or it gives me the message OK To Shut Down
Computer...

I can re-boot from the reset or cold-boot or even alt-control-del, but
I can't get it to restart from the desktop.

I have:  Reloaded Windows 95, Reloaded MSOffice, disabled my virus
scanners and any other program that runs from config.sys or
autoexec.bat.  Going nowhere by crazy.

Any help would be largely appreciated.
