Sysedit
      Sysedit is part of the Windows system configuration utility group. It lets you modify your system's startup sequence actions in a single application. You can modify the following system files.

  1. Autoexec.bat
  2. Config.sys
  3. Win.ini
  4. Sytem.ini
  5. Protocol.ini
Using Sysedit to change system settings

From the Desktop environment:
  1. Click START - RUN
  2. Type Sysedit into the dialog box
  3. Click OK
  4. Veiw/Edit any of the above files

    NOTE: Always make a backup copy of any file that you are going to change. One suggestion is to save the original file as one of the following: filename.old, filename._ni, filename._ys, or filename.bak
    You can always restore the original files if you put them in a separate folder (suggest a folder on the root called backup). Always remember to find out where the files were before you start editing.
