WIN9X mode in WIN2000

[sumthinelse]

On my old WIN2000 machine (motherboard croaked) I had a "command prompt" icon that had a flag that said "Run in WIN9X compatability mode" or something like that. Some (old) programs wouldn't even install unless I ran them in that mode. I right clicked on the "command prompt" and chose pproperties but couldn't find that setting. Does anybody remember that?

you need to install support tools found in \SUPPORT\TOOLS on Windows 2k CD-ROM.

When I run the setup.exe in \support\tools\setup.exe it says "can't run 16-bit windows program." The documents say you are supposed to run setup.exe in win2000.

OK, I rebooted and now setup works. This isn't what I was asking about exactly (there used to be more options under a shortcut properties) -- it's even better, with more options.

Thanx again!
