BOOT.COM
Boot.Com very simply does a cold boot on your machine.
To run the program type:
"Boot" <Enter>
This program is very useful for setting up a batch file that
causes DOS to boot with or without your TSR programs, since
many applications find conflict with TSR's. An example batch
file for this follows;
REM This batch file is called NOBOOT.BAT
echo off
cls
cd\
REM if autoexec.OLD exists, then we need to reinstate
REM the original AUTOEXEC.BAT with TSR's etc.
IF EXIST autoexec.old GOTO autoboot
REM autoexec.OLD does not exist,
REM therefore copy autoexec.BAT to autoexec.OLD
COPY autoexec.bat *.old
COPY config.sys *.old
COPY config config.sys
COPY autoexec autoexec.bat
GOTO done
