- Here's an easy hack that will break you to DOS in any Windows Protected Mode
- computer. As you know, a Protected Mode Progman has no File menu, and you
- cannot exit Windows or change properties of programs. How do we get around
- this? Easy.
- You first need a floppy disk containing the following files:
- COMMAND.COM
- WINHELP.EXE
- just make that disk, and find the computer you need DOS access on. Now,
- with the disk in the drive, follow these steps:
-
- 1) Open the Accessories group
- 2) Open Write
- 3) Choose File|Open
- 4) Open A:\COMMAND.COM
- 5) Choose NO CONVERSION. THIS IS VITAL!!!
- 6) When COMMAND.COM is open, choose File|Save As...
- 7) Save the file as C:\WINDOWS\WINHELP.EXE
-
- Now, exit Write, and choose Help|Index or Help|Contents from the Progman
- menu. BOOM! You're in DOS. Now, copy the WINHELP.EXE that's on your floppy
- back to C:\WINDOWS\WINHELP.EXE, so no on will inadvertantly do the same
- trick. Now, do whatever you want, but note: For a reason I have been unable
- to discover, the prompt is not the normal one, so you may want to set the
- prompt with the command PROMPT $P$G.That'll take care of the problem.
- Just type EXIT to return to windows.
