CONFIG.NT
C:\>TYPE WINDOWS\system32\CONFIG.NT
REM Windows MS-DOS Startup File
REM
REM CONFIG.SYS vs CONFIG.NT
REM CONFIG.SYS is not used to initialize the MS-DOS
environment.
REM CONFIG.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless
a
REM different startup file is specified in an application's
PIF.
REM
REM ECHOCONFIG
REM By default, no information is displayed when the MS-DOS
environment
REM is initialized. To display CONFIG.NT/AUTOEXEC.NT information,
add
REM the command echoconfig to CONFIG.NT or other startup file.
REM
REM NTCMDPROMPT
REM When you return to the command prompt from a TSR or while
running an
REM MS-DOS-based application, Windows runs COMMAND.COM. This allows
the
REM TSR to remain active. To run CMD.EXE, the Windows command
prompt,
REM rather than COMMAND.COM, add the command ntcmdprompt to
CONFIG.NT or
REM other startup file.
REM
REM DOSONLY
REM By default, you can start any type of application when
running
REM COMMAND.COM. If you start an application other than an
MS-DOS-based
REM application, any running TSR may be disrupted. To ensure that
only
REM MS-DOS-based applications can be started, add the command
dosonly to
REM CONFIG.NT or other startup file.
REM
REM EMM
REM You can use EMM command line to configure EMM(Expanded Memory
Manager).
REM The syntax is:
REM
REM EMM = [A=AltRegSets] [B=BaseSegment] [RAM]
REM
REM     AltRegSets
REM         specifies the total Alternative
Mapping Register Sets you
REM         want the system to support. 1 <=
AltRegSets <= 255. The
REM         default value is 8.
REM     BaseSegment
REM         specifies the starting segment
address in the Dos conventional
REM         memory you want the system to
allocate for EMM page frames.
REM         The value must be given in
Hexdecimal.
REM         0x1000 <= BaseSegment <=
0x4000. The value is rounded down to
REM         16KB boundary. The default value is
0x4000
REM     RAM
REM         specifies that the system should
only allocate 64Kb address
REM         space from the Upper Memory
Block(UMB) area for EMM page frames
REM         and leave the rests(if available)
to be used by DOS to support
REM         loadhigh and devicehigh commands.
The system, by default, would
REM         allocate all possible and available
UMB for page frames.
REM
REM     The EMM size is determined by pif file(either the
one associated
REM     with your application or _default.pif). If the
size from PIF file
REM     is zero, EMM will be disabled and the EMM line
will be ignored.
