In this case he should have started the computer, look for his original
config.sys and autoexec.bat, rename them and then reboot.
What's the problem?

I never needed to restart for any DOS game...

Windows 95 is DOS based and therefore cannot run VDMs as OS/2 does...

Why is VFAT another nasty kludge?
1st: Why "another"? What's the first kludge?
2nd: VFAT is a simple made system, I know. But it works... you have your
long filenames (and this is all Microsoft said VFAT would provide). You
even
have short filenames for your long-ones in DOS-mode. IMO this is *much*
better
than the HPFS long file names...
HPFS is faster than FAT, that's true. But long file name handlings are
better in
Windows 95. Another thing is that FAT is more robust than FAT and doesn't
need
to be handled by chkdsk after a total crash (I hate this under Warp).
