6. KRNL386.EXE now loads the Windows shell program. In this case,
NORSHELL.EXE is loaded.
7. After referring to the WIN.INI initialization file, NORSHELL.EXE
launches the user application, which, in this case, is the Windows 3.1 File
Manager. Windows startup is now complete and the File Manager is open.
DOSX.EXE Startup
As mentioned earlier, you can start Windows 3.1 standard mode by running
WIN.COM.
An alternative method is to run DOSX.EXE directly. If run directly, the
WIN.COM and WSWAP.EXE files can be left out of the system to save space.
Note that the standard mode configuration does not support execution of DOS
programs. For a more detailed discussion of Windows startup, refer to chapter 1
of the book
Windows Internals
, by Matt Pietrek, published by AddisonĆWesley.
