I can plainly see you've never actually tried what you > are now advocating. :) It is not very well documented (except by me, in a posting in this thread), but you can force a Windows 95 box to "shutdown to dos" as part of the setting on a command line icon shortcut. This is typically used to run DOS games that won't run in a command window, even if it's a full screen command window. fbsdboot.exe runs perfectly well for me, from an icon on my desktop, on my old 486 EISA box running Windows 95.
