When Win98SE starts, it runs autoexec.bat
I want to add a command in autoexec.bat to stop Windows from starting and enter DOS
What should I do?

Don't modify AUTOEXEC.BAT, modify MSDOS.SYS instead: under , change BootGUI=1 to BootGUI=0.

That won't do. What I want is this: disable F8 during Win98 startup, then set a password in autoexec.bat. If the password is entered, it can stop Win98 startup and enter DOS; if not entered, it goes into Windows. How do I do that? When autoexec.bat is running, pressing ctrl+C or ctrl+break still can't stop Windows from starting.

If you want to disable the F8 key, you'll still have to modify MSDOS.SYS: add a line, BootKey=0. As for setting a password, look through the recent posts, lots of people have been discussing it.

I know how to set a password
What I mainly want is to stop Windows startup
That is, when Windows startup reaches autoexec.bat
have something run in autoexec.bat that can interrupt Windows startup
and enter the DOS prompt

If you want to disable the F8 key, you'll still have to modify MSDOS.SYS: add a line BootKey=0. Let autoexec.bat run win to re-enter Windows—you can set a password, and only run win if it's correct.

You still haven't understood what I mean. The key point is that I want to stop Windows startup from autoexec. During the Win98 startup process, after autoexec runs, it automatically runs win.com to start Windows. What I want now is for win.com not to run after autoexec finishes.

Actually, if you add BOOTGUI=0 to MSDOS.SYS, then after AUTOEXEC.BAT finishes it won't run WIN.

Looks like I'll have to use the method from the previous post: set BOOTGUI=0, then in autoexec.bat, if the preset key isn't pressed, run win automatically to start Windows; if it is pressed, prompt for a password.
