True, but when you restart the computer in DOS mode (to play one of your
older DOS games that you just can't live without) you will find that you have
no access to your CD-ROM, mouse, sound card, or network.  You will have to
create a shortcut to MS-DOS with the original DOS Config.Sys and Autoexec.Bat
and leave it on your desktop.  Then use this to go to DOS mode, instead of
using the Shutdown Menu.

PS - If anyone is having trouble with this, post or mail me and I'll mail you
complete instructions on how the best way to set up a DOS mode in Win95.
Used to work for Origin tech support, so I know a little about this stuff.
