Not Loading DriveSpace or DoubleSpace
Drivers
- Even if you never use DriveSpace or DblSpace, Win95 automatically
loads the drivers. While the drivers are not huge, they do consume some
resources. To keep Win95 from loading them all you need to do is:
- Find the MSDOS.SYS file in the root directory of your boot drive.
- Right click on the file, clear the read-only attribute then edit the
file.
- Add these two lines to the Options section.
- Dblspace=0
- Drvspace=0
- Be sure to save the changes, reset the read-only attribute, then
reboot.
This does save a significant amount of memory but more importantly, it
will reduce the number of threads running in the background.
