William,

Copy or create a shortcut to:

%SystemRoot%system32cmd.exe

Check out the properties tabs.
Set up the shortcut(s) as you need and make them read only.

By using the shortcuts, you should be able to get the desired effect.

hth,

--Reidar

Subject: [OT] DOS UNDER WIN 2K PRO.


Hi people:
Does anyone know how to set Win 2K Pro up so the DVM (Dos Virtual Machine)
behaves as under Win 98.

Specifically the command.com shortcut has to be set up to give a full
screen, but after this is done all programs run from the command line are
given a small form (1/3 of the full screen) to run in Win 2k.

We have a very large number of tools and still active Clipper Apps. I have
failed to get even one of them to run under a true single user command line
full screen, much less find the magic setting that says for all Apps in this
DVM give them full screen treatment.

The significant difference in props win 2k to win 98 is the addition of a
Security form. We run our in house machines as administratormanager (Win
and O/S2), Supervisor(N/W) and Root (redhat & Samba) whether they are W/S or
servers. Our Internet machine in not on our Lan. We copy to a removable hard
disk only specific items we may need.
Dont believe we have any virus problems on production machines.

Thanks in advance.

William Tormey
