>Try and avoid Autoexec.bat and config.sys where possible. This normally introduces more problems with Windows that it solves. The reason for there being is that they set up the DOS environment, which unless your playing DOS games on a regular basis, I would question why you would need them at all.

The buffers setting you recommend is far from correct - this would force bufferspace to be allocated from conventional memory in each instance of a VDM. A buffers value of 8 should be sufficient; the only place it has any effect in Win9x is in the boot of the underlying DOS before Win9x initiates its kernel.
