Can anyone tell me the name of the command to issue at
the "Run" command line that pops up system file windows
like config.sys for editing?
 
To create custom startup files for an MS-DOS-based program that may require a special configuration:

1. Using a text editor, such as Notepad, edit the Config.nt and Autoexec.nt files (located in
systemroot\System32).
2. Save each file with a new name.
3. Right-click the MS-DOS-based program shortcut, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Program tab, and then click Advanced.
5. Under Custom MS-DOS initialization files, type the new names for your custom startup files.
