     If you're interested, you can try it here:

     https://www.pcjs.org/software/pcx86/sys/windows/win95/4.00.950/

     Go to Start -> Shut Down and select the option to turn off the computer.

     Once the "it's now safe to turn off your computer" screen is shown you have to *quickly* (as soon as the image is shown) type "cls" to clear the screen. I don't remember needing to be quick back in the day, but here you do.

     It doesn't reset the display completely, but you'll have a DOS prompt and can do DOS things.
