File Handles

I have several DOS based applications which need to open lots of files at the same time.
When running from DOS, Win 3.11, 95 or 98 they run fine provided I have the line FILES=100 in CONFIG.SYS With Windows NT I have the line FILES=100 in CONFIG.NT
My question is: How can I increase available file handles in Windows ME ?
