Christ, you guys ARE old  . Windows 95 was my first OS, didn't touch the DOS side of things, my old man did it for me.

MY first PC wouldn't have had the MSCDEX.EXE line, because CD-ROMs hadn't come out yet. I seem to remember "win" being the last line in autoexec.bat, meaning Windows 3 (not 3.1.) The OS was DOS 3, and I was using QEMM instead of DOS' extended memory manager.

I meant DOS command line, actually... Brain fart from studying C all day.  As I recall, Win 98 was the last (major) release that was actually built on DOS, whereas from XP onward, the only way to get to a command line prompt was via starting in Safe Mode. Nah, it's not hidden or anything. It's in the start menu as the Command Prompt, or you can do Start>Run and end cmd.exe. You're probably thinking of the "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" option which is just... well, safe mode that lets you access the command prompt. But, that isn't DOS - Windows XP and newer dumped DOS entirely with the switch to the NT kernel. DOS isn't present at all.

Tornado was one I had the most problems with, and was most glad that CDs came along as sitting there installing Win 3.11 then putting the software back on your 50MB HDD was such a pain and took forever I still have a HDD for my old laptop with DOS 6.3 on it for some applications But then again I remember using CP/M
