Warm Boot
A warm boot (AKA reset) restarts the operating system. Registry settings, installed programs, and data files are preserved. Running applications are halted and unsaved data is lost. Flash content is preserved. RAM content is not preserved. The RAM Disk folder is preserved on Windows CE 6.x, but it is not preserved on Windows Mobile.

Cold Reset and Hardware Reset
Cold reset and hardware reset are two names for the same process. They power down, and then power up, all the hardware on a ­Psion computer. In effect they reinitialize all the hardware. All RAM including the RAM disk is erased. Nonvolatile storage such as the flash disk is preserved. All peripherals are reinitialized.

Clean Start
A clean start resets the computer to its factory settings.
