    He isn't. It's that simple.  ;)

Well, we have 12 identical machines, all presumably with these keys 
turned on, and this is so far the first and only time this problem has 
surfaced. So presumably the key combination required is fairly hard.

If the problem recurrs, I'll just look up what the key combination is. ;-)

I wish it were as simple to shut up the Linux fanboys who spurt out "switch 
to linux" in response to any problem anyone has on windows ;-)  Don't any of 
them realise that if the original poster is having some (presumably quite 
trivially solvable) problem on windows, chances that they manage on linux 
*better* than windows are quite small?

  The system not booting at all doesn't sound like a trivial problem to me.

Usually it is, but how trivial the problem is is not the point, the point is 
the person isn't automatically going to become a whizz at Linux and never 
get stuck again.  In fact I would suspect that when people reply with 
"switch to Linux", if that person actually did switch, they would have many 
more problems than the one they were asking about in the first place - like 
not being able to get online to ask others for help ;-)
