Windows 95 

Tricks

Options in MSDOS.SYS
 

In order to activate these options, attrib your MSDOS.SYS file in your directory and use a text editor to add any of these lines under the OPTIONS heading. These commands are case sensitive.
I have found these to work on the full install of Windows 95, but I haven't
tried it on the upgrade (installing over your old Windows 3.1 or WFW 3.11)

BootWin=0
This command will boot into your OLD DOS without loading Windows 95.

BootGUI=0
Boots DOS 7.0 instead of Windows 95.

BootMenu=1
Displays the Windows 95 Start Up Menu WITHOUT having to hit the F4 and F8
keys.

BootDelay=n (number value in seconds)
Just like the old multi-boot, the sets the value in seconds for how long you
want the scroll bar to wait until it processes the menu.

BootMenuDefault=n

Just like the old multi-boot, this allows you place the scroll bar on the
menu item of your choice as a default.

BootMulti=1
This will put the line "Previous Version of DOS" at the bottom of the menu
options.

LOGO=0
Disables the Windows 95 logo on Windows boot-up.
