How to turn on compatibity mode

[Ahmed | ß5]

Hi there folks;

I refreshed my puter & discarded old news items, what I want to know is how
to turn on the "Compatibility Mode" in Win2k so that a option on a programs
shortcut shows "emulate win98/win nt 3/4" etc etc. I found the info but didn't
note it down. Process involves something like "register server etc etc xxxx.dll "
in the run box and then you get options on the shortcut to run old software
from 98/ME etc days. OH NOW I REMEMBER the dll is SLAYERUI.DLL, so is
the exact command known to anyone? Must use old software, booting into
win98 for a few moments is a hassle.

Thanks in advance.
