Win 2000 Boot to MS-DOS

[Bill Wetzel]

Is there a way to configure Windows 2000 to boot directly
to the MS-DOS prompt?

Unless you have MSDos installed, you'll need to boot with a dos disk.

p.s. You can set
HKLM\software\micrsofot\windowsnt\currentversion\winlogon\shell=cmd.exe if
you'd like a non-gui command prompt interface, but W2K still fully loads
when you do this. It's just that explorer.exe doesn't load as your shell;
that's all.
