 Hi Shane!

Add the following to your MSDOS.SYS file under Win95 if not already present.
[Options]         VDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD7
BootMulti=1       : *** This should already be in your file if you set    :
                  : up WIN95 in its own directory to allow multi-boot.    :
                  :                                                       :
BootMenu=1        : *** Add this if not present. Allows boot menu         :
                  : display.                                              :
                  :                                                       :
BootMenuDelay=20  : ***Add this to control Time in seconds to display     :
                  : menu on screen before executing BootmenuDefault.      :
                  :                                                       :
BootmenuDefault=8 : ***Add this to set Default boot choice once delay     :
                  : times out. The number equals the number of the menu   :
                  : you see by pressing F8.                               :
                  : "1"= start Win95                                      :
                  : "8"= start your previous DOS/WIN                      :
                  :                                                       :
BootGUI=1         : ***Win95 default - should already be there.           :
                  :                                                       :
Logo=0            : *** This will stop the Win95 logo screen from         :
                  :     appearing during a boot.                          :
                  :                                                       :

 Note that you may need to execute
 ATTRIB C:\MSDOS.SYS -r -s -h
 before you can edit it under Win95.
