How can I have my computer startup in MS Dos Mode?

Some users seem to want to have Windows 95 on their computers. However, when the computer starts up, they want to be in MS-DOS Mode automatically.

In the root directory of your boot driver (usually C:\) you will find a file called MSDOS.SYS.

Click on the Start button, choose: Programs, MS-DOS Prompt.

Type: c: and press [enter]. (on most computers, the boot drive is 'c'. if yours isn't, change this command to whatever your boot drive is)

Type: cd\ and press [enter].

Type: attrib msdos.sys -s -h -r and press [enter]. - (this will turn off the 'system', 'hidden', and 'read-only' part of the msdos.sys file)

Type: copy msdos.sys msdos.tsg and press [enter]. - (this will make a backup of msdos.sys called msdos.tsg)

Type: edit msdos.sys and press [enter].

On your screen you should see something that looks like:
```
[Options]
BootGUI=1
```
Change it so that it looks like this:
```
[Options]
BootGUI=0
```
NOTE: Do not change any other lines in this file, even if they are between [Options] and BootGUI=1.
From the File menu, choose Save.
From the File menu, choose Exit.
Type: attrib msdos.sys +s +h +r and press [enter]. - (this will turn the 'system', 'hidden', and 'read-only' part of the file back on, so Windows 95 will read it)
Type: exit and press [enter]. - (this will return you to Windows 95)
Now restart your computer. It should boot up to the command prompt. If you want to start Windows, type win and press [enter].
