If one waits at least 10 seconds before turning the computer back on, generally, everything will reset to its normal configuration. This, of course, depends on why a "cold boot" was initiated in the first place, e.g., to recover from a "freeze" or was it a sudden shut down. In the latter instance, the "cold boot" should probably go into "safe mode".

One of the advantages of a cold boot is that all the parameters of the computer are reset to the prescribed default. This often has the benefit of clearing errors present before the boot.
