As you know, a Protected Mode Progman has no File menu, and you cannot exit Windows or change properties of programs. How do we get around this? Easy. You first need a floppy disk containing the following files: COMMAND.COM WINHELP.EXE just make that disk, and find the computer you need DOS access on. Now, with the disk in the drive, follow these steps: 1) Open the Accessories group 2) Open Write 3) Choose File|Open 4) Open A:\COMMAND.COM 5) Choose NO CONVERSION. THIS IS VITAL!!! 6) When COMMAND.COM is open, choose File|Save As... 7) Save the file as C:\WINDOWS\WINHELP.EXE Now, exit Write, and choose Help|Index or Help|Contents from the Progman menu. BOOM! You're in DOS. Now, copy the WINHELP.EXE that's on your floppy back to C:\WINDOWS\WINHELP.EXE, so no on will inadvertantly do the same trick. Now, do whatever you want, but note: For a reason I have been unable to discover, the prompt is not the normal one, so you may want to set the prompt with the command PROMPT $P$G.That'll take care of the problem. Just type EXIT to return to windows. --hack
