This article was previously published under Q76205 SUMMARY
If you want MS-DOS Shell to start without reading the files and
directories in memory, you need to select a different view
other than the default view setting.
MORE INFORMATION
Press ALT, V (View) for a selection of different viewing modes for
Shell (the default is Program/File Lists). Program/File Lists will
display the directory tree, individual files, and menu groups. If Task
Swapper is active, that area will also be shown. To keep Shell from
reading the directories and files, choose Program List from the View
menu. Program List view will only show the menu groups and the Active
Task List (if Task Swapper is activated).
