windows me real dos stupidity

Windows ME to my way of thinking was Microsoft's first major attempt to kill off MS-DOS for good. Microsoft even says that you can't shutdown to MS-DOS:

You can, however, restart to MS-DOS. All in all, I stay away from ME and stick with Win98SE.

A fix to this was circulated as modifying the following registry key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\WinOldApp]
"NoRealMode"=dword:00000001

...and changing it to 0. I've never tried it.
