Shift key to block startup not working

I have a .cmd script in my Start Menu Startup folder. I usually want
it to run on startup but every once in a while I don't, and I won't
know that I want to block it until after I've powered the machine off.

In XP and prior I could just hold down the left Shift key immediately
after logging in, but in Vista Business the script runs even with the
Shift key held down. I also tried holding down the Ctrl, Alt, and
Windows keys to no avail. I Googled it but found nothing.

What key (or combination) can you hold down to prevent Vista from
executing items in the Startup folder?

Hello,
That option is no longer available for Windows Vista.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
