This must not be universally true, since I am at this moment logged in via
TightVNC to a machine that has had neither mouse, keyboard, nor monitor for
months, and has been through several reboot cycles in that time. It's a
Compaq machine, circa 1995, running WinXP, and used to be my primary machine
for home use.
So at least in some circumstances, the answer to Charles' question is, "Yes,
it can."
HTH.

Before or after everything's booted?
Actually, without a keyboard, PC's BIOS wouldn't even allow to boot.
And then when windows (you're talking about Microsoft Windows, aren't you?)
is loading, it will check for mouse. If there's no mouse at this stage, you
won't have mouse pointer unless you redo a system PnP scan. As to monitor,
there might be situation that the system checks its presence before using
the appropriate resolution and refresh frequency.
However, if everything's loaded, you could remove the monitor and
mouse. But I'm not sure if you could remove the keyboard without the system
giving you warnings.
