The easiest way to make this happen is to create a file in your C:\ root
directory called WIN.BAT. If you put nothing in this file, WIN95 will boot
to the DOS prompt. If you put commands like:
CD\CT9
CT CQWW95SB
CD\
It'll boot, and then load CT immediately.
After you do this, you can start the WIN95 GUI just by typing WIN at any
command prompt. Interestingly, when you choose shutdown from the start
menu after doing this, it returns you to the C:\ prompt. The interesting
part is that the screen will show the "It's ok to turn off your computer
display". At this point, type MODE CO80 and press Enter and you'll see the
prompt again. You will not see what you type - but it's kinda cool.

Yes, you can change one of the init files so that you always boot
into Win95's DOS.
I will have to dig up the info...
