re: Question about 'Contents of the MSDOS.SYS File' Tuesday, December 3, 2002 at 2:40 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Zoltan Toth (2 messages posted) Ok, understood, but is there a way to avoid the F8 (function key to brake the boot to Safemode option) on Windows XP and continue with normal boot? MSDOS.SYS had the BootKeys=0 setting, not apply to Windows XP. We would like to avoid the F8 brake function somehow. Thanks - Adam.
