Another solution:

Real DOS-Mode Patch


If you wanted to shut down to a DOS prompt, there is a short way to do it but i'm not sure if it would work under winME, it might not. Here it is from AndyHui's thread:

For Shutting down to MS-DOS mode create a text file called msdos.vbs:

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot
WshShell.SendKeys "^{ESC}um{ENTER}"
