SUMMARY
When some programs exit, or shell out to MS-DOS, they need to reload the
command interpreter, COMMAND.COM. To make the process of reloading the
command interpreter more efficient, you can place COMMAND.COM on a
RAMDrive. To do this, follow these steps:
- In your AUTOEXEC.BAT batch file, copy the file COMMAND.COM to the
RAMDrive.
- Set the COMSPEC environment variable to point to the copy of COMMAND.COM
on the RAMDrive.
- Set the PATH environment variable to include COMMAND.COM's location on
the RAMDrive.
