- Hi, seems you've done your best. WIN.COM looks for user specific files
- in that directory, where it has been started from. It won't work from
- the shared directory even when flagged SMODE 5.
-
- But you can delete boot specific files like EMM386.EXE, HIMEM, SMARTDRV,
- from the user's directory. About 90 KB of files need to be there.
