Thanks to Craig Kulesa for this info.
You can save +4MB of Physical RAM at boot if you disable the WOWExec
(16bit Windows Subsystem). Load Regedt32, go to the Local Machine Section,
go to Software-Microsoft-WindowsNT-CurrentVersion-Winlogon. Find the line
Userinit: delete the references to wowexec and win.com.
On next login, when PM comes up, disk activity stops, and you now have 4MB
more free RAM. If you use a 16bit app, the WOWexec will automatically
load. To get rid of it in a system friendly way, get littles.zip from
winftp.cica.indiana.edu/pub/pc/win3/nt/. Use "ps" to find the program ID
of WOWexec and "kill" to get rid of it. Works instantly and frees (at
least most of) the 4MB again.
