Config.sys page

Config.sys is an especially important file for MS-DOS. In Windows'95/98 this file is used only to configure some parameters and for backward compatibility. However, you may still run some programs from config.sys. Inspect this file carefully, seek out rows with the prefix: "device=" or "install=". Any device driver or program located after equal sign in this row may be dangerous. We recommend that you use the minimum number of programs in config.sys. Normally, if you might use, for example:

device=c:\windows\himem.sys

device=c:\windows\emm386.exe NOEMS

device=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)

Check all files that you need.
