Info I have:
get mark.com release.exe utility pair (I've got them).
Note these
MUST be used together. Ensure are stored on path
otherwise
have to use fully qualified paths below.
2) In windows directory move/rename/delete logos.sys and
logow.sys and any other logo?.sys files you find.
3) In windows directory create dosstart.bat, and whatever
else it might contain, last line must be:
release.exe
4) Make batch file from which to start windows If don't
already
have one and whatever else it contains must have:
mark.com
win
5) when want to crash windows, go "Start>Restart in MSDOS
mode"
and windows will crash back to DOS without restarting and
with no
damage done to windows. If have windows macro editor,
as I do,
can assign above to a hotkey and crash out of windows
with single keystroke

Okay, I've installed, mark.com and release.exe into my windows folder and setup
the batch files in the windows files and deleted the logo.sys files.
Selecting the restart with MS-DOS option playes the shutoff music as normal and
drops me out to this screen in DOS
C:\>release.exe
RELEASE 3.5, Copyright 1993 TurboPower Software

entering the win command returns this message
Windows is still running one or more MSDOS-based programs.
You need to exit your program(s) before Windows can be restarted.
