== Dual booting DOS and Windows 9x == When installing [[Windows 95]] over a preexisting DOS/Windows install, CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT are renamed to '''CONFIG.DOS''' and AUTOEXEC.DOS. This is intended to ease dual booting between Windows 9x and DOS. When booting into DOS, they are temporarily renamed CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. Backups of the Windows 95 versions are made as '''CONFIG.W40''' and AUTOEXEC.W40 files. When Caldera DR-DOS 7.02/7.03 is installed on a system already containing Windows 95, Windows' CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT retain those names. DR-DOS' startup files are installed as DCONFIG.SYS (a name already used in earlier versions of DR DOS) and AUTODOS7.BAT.<ref name="Caldera_1998_USER"/>
