Yup, most likely.

Yes, but I don't see any reason why "services" should be loaded before this
has happened. After all, most "services" would be 32-bit protected-mode in
any case. Stuff in the Startup folder certainly isn't loaded until Windows
has fully started.

I wasn't aware that it wasn't seeing it (Windoze is definitely not my
primary OS, and this is the first mention of the problem I remember
seeing). I'll try it on my own installation - Win95 OSR2, under the
Virtual PC emulator.
