Christ:

there is a pif file in your windows directory called "exit to dos"
right click on it and select properties, select "program", select
"advance" and then select "specify new ms-dos configuration" and
customize the autoexe.cat and config.sys the way you want it. this is
what is used when you restart in msdos mode.
It works for me.
