When I do a Start -Shut Down- Restart in MS-DOS mode, the following info lists before the Windows prompt is shown: Plug & Play Sound/Modem Card Utility, Version 3.12 Copyright (c) Mar 1997, AZI Labs.

What file(files) causes the above info lines to print? Thanks. Bob

Try config.sys and autoexec.bat in C:\

Run sysedit. Insert "rem" in front of lines you want to disable in autoexec.bat. Then place semi-colon in front of lines referencing Iomega in config.sys, if any. That makes is easier to go back if you change your mind.

If your not sure about permenantly removeing them just add "REM " ,no quotes, to the fromt of each line. When you get tired of looking at all that you can put "echo off", without the quotes. If you want to toggle specific commands display on, use "echo"

Hi RAD, hi everyone, As far as I know, Start -Shut Down- Restart in MS-DOS mode also uses C:\Windows\Dosstart.bat RayMan, maybe, I don't understand very well what you mean but... >If you want to toggle specific commands >display on, use "echo" "echo" just displays the status. "echo this is a message" displays the message 'this is the message'. If you want to retrieve the display, the command is "echo on" HTH Have a good day, Gérard from Paris, France

Yeah, it's the windows\dosstart.bat file you need to edit. Autoexec.bat has no affect on the files that load when you exit to dos from windows. If you've removed your zip drive or just don't want it working in dos, you can delete the line or rem it out by one of the methods explained above.

"If you want to retrieve the display, the command is "echo on" Yah You're right Frenchie, it's been a while since my DOS days.
