Tricks In Windows95

If your os is win95 and you want to go to dos without running autoexec.bat and config.sys then press SHIFT+F5 after your setup screen goes.


Start menu of windows95 can be organised using
setting taskbarstart menu programs.


Turn off Windows' startup logo -

Edit MSDOS.SYS in DOS editor then change logo=1 to logo=0 in [options] menu.

Change the logos -

In windows95 totally 3 logos are there. First of these is logo at the start i.e logo while loading win95.This logo refers to file named logo.sys . This file is stored in root directory. After shutting down win95 two logos are found. These are logow.sys and logos.sys respectively. These files are in windows directory.All three logos can be by replacing these files. But for this the x and y co-ordinates of your picture file should be same as the logo file which is constant. This size can be found by opening logo.sys in paintbrush.

Boot to MS-DOS 7.0 instead of Windows 95

If you would prefer that Windows 95 boot up in a MS-DOS session, instead of the GUI, you need to do the following:
  1. Open up the MSDOS.sys file in MS-DOS Editor.
  2. Find the line "BootGUI1" and change it to "BootGUI0".
  3. If by chance, your system doesn't have this item in the MSDOS.sys file, simply add the line "BootGUI0" near the top of the entire file.
  4. Save the changes, quit the Editor, and reboot your PC.
  5. When your system starts, it will bring up the familiar MS-DOS session!

If you are in 'command prompt only' option of windows startup menu then you can go to windows using command win and if you want certain program to be started when you when you enter windows then type 'win [program path]'.


To add any program shortcut to start menu , Drag the executable file of the program on the start menu.
