I haven't tried executor under the final "Egghead" (retail) Release, but here are a few tips..... If one hits F8 at bootup they will get a prompt that will allow them to boot to command line. However, a better fix is to do this........ ------------------- At a command line prompt (windowed or otherwise) type: cd c:\ attrib -s -r -h msdos.sys edit msdos.sys There is a line in that file that says something like: BootGUI=1 change it to: BootGUI=0 Then save it and type: attrib +s +r +h msdos.sys This will cause Win95 to boot to the command line by default not Windows (and Gates says Win95 isn't built on DOS...grin....). Anyways, Then you can create a startup menu in your config.sys just like you did in Dos 6.XX. I.E. config.sys: [menu] menuitem=standard, Standard Bootup into Windows 95 menuitem=basic, Basic Low Memort Bootup for Games, Etc. (DOS prompt) [common] device=c:\windows\himem.sys [standard] rem rem rem rem [basic] device=c:\windows\emm386exe Then you autoexec.bat might look like this: goto %config% :standard win goto end :basic echo Low Memory Setup complete goto end :end echo . ----------------------- This will make it prompt you at boot up with a menu of choices some which will boot you to windows and some which will not, each having it's own configuration as you might want it set up........Hope this helps you all out trying to get the optimal executor setup......I'll start playing with it later this week....
