In Windows 9x, the default amount of environment space provided to MS-DOS windows is often too small to run many batch files. To increase the amount of environment space available, do the following:
- Click Start, Run and enter sysedit
- In the C:CONFIG.SYS window, add the line:
SHELL=C:COMMAND.COM /E:4096 /P
- Reboot your system. This should be enough to run most batch files.
