To prevent Windows 3 from loading Program Manager on startup, edit your
system.ini file and in the line under [boot] starting with "shell=", change
"progman.exe" to whatever you want it to load instead. I've set up batch
files to swap system.ini files so I can get the extra memory for Excel
(still waiting for the upgrade to arrive...).
At the same time as I noticed that, I also saw two undocumented switches, as
used in these lines in setup.inf:
[data]
<several lines deleted>
; Name of a program invoked after completing setup
exec = "win.com"
execcmd = "/r /q:"
^^^
and
; this is the cmd line that is executed for the online docs
readme = "notepad /.setup readme.txt"
^^^^^^^
Anyone know what these do? I tried starting windows with the /q option, but
I just get "Application not found" errors. The notepad switch has no
readily apparent effect.
